Should Faculty Rank Be Included as a Predictor Variable in Studies of Gender Equity in University Faculty Salaries?
Boudreau, Nancy; And Others
Research in Higher Education, v38 n3 p297-312 Jun 1997
Two studies illustrate how omitting faculty rank as a predictor variable from gender equity studies of faculty salaries can lead to incorrect conclusions about gender discrimination. One uses hypothetical data constructed so there is no gender difference in salary, but omission of academic rank skews the results. The second uses data from a Bowling Green State University (Ohio) study. (Author/MSE)
