Colorado State University, home to more than 30,000 students and more than 7,000 employees, released two revealing reports recently.

The first, a qualitative study, found “institutionalized gender inequity” for female workers on the Fort Collins campus. The study was years in the making and detailed a workplace where women face fear of retaliation, sexist insinuations and inconsistent applications of earned benefits such as parental leave.

The second, a quantitative study, indicated Colorado State University is paying its female full professors 4.9 percent percent less than male counterparts. In the associate professor ranks, minorities are paid 5.4 percent less than their white counterparts this fiscal year, according to a report from its Salary Equity Committee released last week.

The salary gap for female full professors appears to be closing. In 2013, females earned 92.1 percent of what their male colleagues earned (the gap is now at 95.1 percent).
