History
The Salary Equity Study Committee was established by the Vice-President, Academic in 1988 in response to concern on the part of Academic Women, the SFU Faculty Association, and the university administration about the the possible existence of gender-based salary differentials at SFU. The Committee's mandate was to determine whether gender-associated salary differentials exist among SFU's tenured and tenure-track faculty members, and if differentials exist, to recommend to the Vice-President, Academic a remedy based on the study findings. The Committee reported to the VP Academic in February 1991 with recommendations relating to methodology to determine the appropriate salary of each SFU tenure-track female faculty member relative to her peers, given academic performance; and measures to prevent future salary inequities.
