Vassar has maintained a gender-based pay gap for two decades, current and former female professors say in a recently filed lawsuit.

    Vassar officials have not disputed the data but say the disparities are tied to differences in seniority, academic discipline and peer evaluations.

    Not all Vassar professors are protesting. Sarah Pearlman, an economics professor who teaches about gender issues, said she wanted more information about salaries before drawing conclusions.

    “I really would like that information,” she said, “and unfortunately I get the sense that we can’t get it.”

    I would wait until the facts are in too. Simply getting outraged is a dumb reaction.

    They pay all their employees like shit. Pretty much every University/college does.

    Except for the administrators.
