Princeton University Agrees to Pay $ 1 Million to Female Professors

Princeton University Agrees to Pay $ 1 Million to Female Professors Princeton University agrees to pay $ 1 million to female professors. It was alleged that the university paid male professors higher than female professors. The spokesperson for Princeton University in the US said they did not accept the claim, but the university agreed to pay. Princeton University, with a unit affiliated to the US Department of Labor, will make an improvement of at least 250 thousand dollars in the salary of women professors in the coming period and will make a repayment of 925 thousand dollars. The deal came after the Ministry of Labor realized that between 2012 and 2014 106 female professors were paid less than male professors. Princeton University spokesperson Ben Chang stated last week that `` the school does not accept the accusations because the payments are based on a flawed statistical model where all professors are grouped together, regardless of departmental differences, '' and stated that it does not reflect the university's model of recruiting and paying employees. "In other words, the job performances of a professor in the English department and a professor in the physics department are different," said Chang, claiming that there was no discrepancy in the payment data made by the university to professors between 2012 and 2014. In addition, Ben Chang said, "Despite relying on Princeton University's payment practices, they decided to resolve the dispute to avoid a lengthy and costly litigation process."
