A New Look at Salary Equity for Male and Female Faculty in Schools of Social Work

Abstract

Many studies have documented that women faculty in schools of social work hold lower ranks, achieve tenure less frequently, and earn lower salaries than do their male peers. The findings of the study of all full-time faculty members in graduate schools of social work in 1984-85 that is reported here concurred with the previous research. However, the data indicated that the situation is not uniform throughout the country; some schools treat their female faculty members better than do others. Therefore, the study also explored eight factors that best describe the schools in which women are treated more equitably. Two factors were found to be most closely related to equity: the sex of the dean and the geographic location of the school.
