Salary increase for women faculty at University of Toronto

The University of Toronto has announced that it will be increasing the salaries of women at the university holding tenured faculty or tenure-stream potions by 1.3% as of July 1st of this year.

The announcement was made following pre-grievance mediation with the University of Toronto Faculty Association during which the both U of T and the UTFA shared the results of studies focusing on gender and salary at the university.

The two parties still remain at odds regarding the results of the investigations as they relate to faculty members with continuing appointments, librarians, contractually limited term appointments, or part-time faculty. UTFA maintains that gender based pay discrepancies exist among all these categories while the Provostial Advisory Group finds no statistically significant difference in pay between men and women.
