Daily News | Penn State gender pay gap is among worst compared to public Big Ten schools, federal data show
The size of the wage gap varies depending on academic rank. According to adjusted IPEDS salary data from the 2021-22 school year, female professors made 88% of their male colleagues’ average salaries while female associate professors earned 87% of their male counterparts’. For female assistant professors, the figure was 90%; while female instructors, lecturers, and instructional staff without an academic rank earned 98%, 86%, and 72% of their male colleagues’ average salaries.
In a statement, a university spokesperson wrote that Penn State “places great importance on maintaining internal pay equity within its faculty ranks.” The university said IPEDS data should not be used to measure equity or draw conclusions since factors such as years of experience, subject area, tenure and non-tenure track faculty, highest-earned degree, and “years in rank at Penn State” are not included.
According to the university’s statement, median faculty salary data — meaning the number in the middle of a distribution of all faculty salaries — provide a more accurate picture and is not affected by outlier figures, which could skew an average. Penn State does not make median salary data available to the public.
