(AP) — Female faculty members at the University of Missouri tend to make $16,000 less than their male counterparts, while racial and ethnic minority faculty members also make $16,000 less than their majority counterparts, according to a study released at the university Faculty Council meeting this week.
Male faculty members tend to have 3.5 more years of experience at the university than female faculty and earn more because of that experience — not necessarily because of unfair treatment by the institution, the study concluded.
