Male and female faculty salary disparities persist and, in some respects, continue to widen, particularly at research universities and for faculty members at the rank of full professor. The salary disparity between types of institutions has more than doubled. Real earnings have increased most at doctoral universities, while those at community colleges have declined substantially.
