Female faculty members and graduate students in the political science department at Rutgers University believe that they are being unfairly treated because of their gender, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education. The charges of unequal compensation and exclusion from leadership positions were first voiced in April 2007 to the dean of Arts and Sciences but no inequalities were observed by the University, The Chronicle reported. Female faculty members argued those findings by writing to the University's President Richard L. McCormick in May 2007, who went on to launch an investigative committee into the allegations. A July 2008 report from the committee uncovered "evidence of subtle and not-so-subtle bias against women in the department." According to The Chronicle, discrimination against women is also evident in other academic departments and other schools around the U.S. The average salaries of women in educational professions at universities and colleges is 78.1 percent of the salaries of their male colleagues, according to a 2006 study conducted by the American Association of University Professors.
