Regression Findings
 Holds many important variables
constant at once to isolate impact of
specific variables.
 Impact of:
◦ Living in New York: +$10,900
◦ Negotiating your salary: +$6,317
◦ Master’s degree (compared to BA):
+$6,052
◦ Working in Foundation: +$29,429
◦ Being a woman: -$8,679

Why the Gender Salary Gap?
 Men work longer hours & highest
education levels
 Men are more likely than women to
negotiate their salaries
 Women less likely to pursue top-
paying positions because of
inflexibility
 Subconscious, and sometimes
conscious, gender discrimination

From Research to Action
Question: If money and time were not an
obstacle, how would you address these issues:
1) lack of transparency, 2) gender disparity, and
3) discrepancy between executive and
lower/mid-level salaries.
How would you tackle these issues on a
personal, organizational and cultural/communal
level?
 Think—5 minutes
 Pair—10 minutes
 Share—15 minutes

Guiding Questions
 Would this idea better position someone in the job
market?
 Would this idea work in your institution?
 Would this work in another institution?
 Have you seen it executed effectively?
 Who are the stakeholders who would have a vested
interest in your ideas?
 Are there potential allies who would support this idea in
your institution or in the greater community?
 Any there people who may be resistant to this idea?
How can you [or how can we] engage them?
 Is there a way to expand your idea to be broader and
more comprehensive? Would that be beneficial?
 Is this idea a bit too broad? How could you make it
more focused?
