RE: GENDER PAY EQUITY EXERCISE 2000-01

FACULTY SALARY TABLES AND SCATTER PLOTS
When I announced the new time line, I also promised that Budget, Planning and Analysis would prepare faculty salary tables and scatter plots based on 2000-01 salary information. Attached are tables and graphs of faculty salaries (by years since degree for each tenure department in your school/college as of September 2000).

UPDATED ONLINE RED BOOK
By mid-August, the Red Budget Book will be available online at http://www.uwsa.edu/budplan/rdbk.htm This resource contains 2000-01 salary and title information by department for all budgeted faculty and staff and may be a useful reference for female faculty.
