"The regressions for earnings one year after college
indicate that when all variables are included, about onequarter
of the pay gap is attributable to gender. That is,
after controlling for all the factors known to affect earnings,
college-educated women earn about 5 percent less than
college-educated men earn. Thus, while discrimination
cannot be measured directly, it is reasonable to assume that
this pay gap is the product of gender discrimination."

Below are some quotes that the UWF survey received in response to an online survey conducted in February of 2007.

"I didn't know that there is a such a big problem with pay equity, but I hope that we can figure out how to pay men and women equally and not base pay on gender." - Female, age 18-22

"The female faculty member of my department was always at a lower salary than others of comparable rank, degree, and tenure" - Male, age 60+

"I was told by a potential employer that I didn't need to make as much money because I had a husband." - Female, age 50-59

"Life is not fair. If it were, I would be king. The struggle for pay equity along gender lines is boring and cliché. My three sisters and my wife are equally paid in comparison to their male counterparts. If they feel that they are underpaid for any reason, they get a new job." - Male, age 30-39

"A figment of the imagination" - Male, age 23-29
