Why female professors are accusing one of the country's first women's colleges of gender discrimination
Fox News
Vassar College, one of the country's first women's institutions, was slapped with a lawsuit in August alleging pay discrimination against its female employees.
"Through this action, we seek to achieve what we were prevented from accomplishing through private internal channels: gender equity for ourselves and other female full faculty, and the adoption of fair processes to ensure that future generations of faculty are paid, promoted, and evaluated fairly," the plaintiffs said in a joint statement.

The lawsuit named Wendy Graham, Maria Höhn, Mia Mask, Cindy Schwarz and Debra Zeifman as plaintiffs, but a letter to Vassar included 36 other female faculty who signed as supporters. The plaintiffs requested back pay since 2015 for all current and former full-time female employees and asked for a new review and compensation process.
Women at Vassar are paid less for jobs similar to men with gender pay disparities beginning at hire, according to lawsuit. During the 2021-2022 school year, the average male employee made $153,238, nearly $14,000 dollars more than their female colleagues, the plaintiffs allege.
