Gender/Salary Imbalances Still Prevalent at Cal Poly, Report Says

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif.

There’s been an improvement in the gender balance at the California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly), but men outnumber women 4-to-1 among the university’s top paid staff, an analysis by The Tribune shows.

Women account for just 16 of 81 employees who were paid at least $100,000 each in 2004, the newspaper said.

University administrators said there have been improvements in recent years but such disparities are expected because of the technical nature of programs at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo.

But the head of the university’s faculty union said more should be done to attract and promote more women to top positions.
