Officials: UNL closer to gender equity by correcting faculty salary differences By Eric Snyder Staff Reporter The university’s effort to pul its money where its mouth is on gender equity drew praise from two faculty leaders. Deanna Eversoll, secretary of the Academic Senate, applauded the re cent decision by UNL officials to distribute faculty salary raises in a way that helps correct gender and racial pay inequities. “Certainly any move towards addressing the problem is supported,” she sai<^ James McShanc, former president erf- the Academic Senate, also expressed support for the effort to correct salary differences at UNL. “We’d better sec to it that the inequities (in salary) arc fixed,” McShane said. “We can’t afford to lose good people.” UNL administrators recently set i' 1 - aside $350,000 of the $1.7 million pay raise for faculty to correct pay discrepancies based on gender and race. ; Recent surveys done by the Chan- ' cellor’s Commission on the Status of Women found that women in office/ 1 service or managcrial/professional positions at UNL make substantially less than men with comparable edu cation and experience. A March 22 report found that women in officc/servicc positions made $2,362 less than men in comparable positions. Women in managcrial/professional positions made $3,294 less than their male counterparts. Both figures were adjusted for education and experi ence. Mary Beck, chairwoman of the Chancellor’s Commission on the Status of Women, said women faculty members at UNL make on the aver age $600 less than faculty members who arc men. The university is moving toward ilrcngthening another gender equity lolicy by reviewing the performance if administrators. Regent Charles Wilson of Lincoln, who leads a gen Jer equity committee, is pushing for .he reviews. The intention of the policy would ic to evaluate the hiring practices of Jcpartmcnts to sec that they arc making irogress Toward proportional gender epresentation. The university currently has a fair liring policy, but an administrative eviewing policy would “put some cclh” in the gender equity move ment, according to Brad Munn, Af firmative Action and equal employ ment opportunity officer. Discriminatory administrators have 10 one to whom to answer at the present time, Munn said. “The administrative review would give accountability to the current policy,” he said. ..- ■■ .
