Equal Pay Review
A member of WiSET is a member of the equal pay review board at the University
- The number of female professorial staff in the Engineering, Science and Maths is slowly increasing.
- 5 of the 8 new Deans are women (2010).
- The University completed its second equal pay review in 2007 and this showed that that the equal pay gap for the Education. Research and Enterprise career pathway reduced from 14% in 2005 to 6%
- Women academics in FESM have risen from 26 to 37 between 2004-7 (corresponding to a rise from 6% to 8% in terms of the overall proportion of women academic staff in the Faculty)
- In a Times Higher Educational Supplement article on equal pay in Universities, the University of Southampton had the smallest pay gap of all the Russell Group Universities
- Reporting processes and data extraction from our existing system is improving to give us better indicators of where issues lie.
Plans for the future:
- The Gender Equality Scheme outlines the steps the University will take to reduce the gender pay gap.
- The Women in SET group is participating in the University’s plans to go for Athena Swan Silver”
