Cedar Rapids Gazette: Female administrators at Iowa’s public universities made 66 percent of what their male counterparts were paid last year — an even larger chasm than Iowa’s overall gender pay gap of 77 cents on the dollar. A Gazette review of the fiscal 2017 salaries of the 177 deans, vice presidents and presidents at the University of Iowa, Iowa State University and the University of Northern Iowa found that women’s median total pay for fiscal 2017 was $149,500, compared with $226,500 for men. The data, from the 2017 state salary book, published Wednesday, indicate that even when people hold similar, high-level positions, women, on average, are paid less.
