When we recently asked President William Powers Jr. to list his priorities for the upcoming legislative session, his answer was anything but ambiguous: “Budget cuts, budget cuts, budget cuts.” Powers wasn’t being flippant; budget cuts af- fect nearly every facet of UT, not least of which is the University’s ability to address persisting issues of campus inequality. The gender pay gap is one such issue high- lighted in The Daily Texan’s breakdown of UT’s budget. The Texan found that in every catego- ry, from lecturer to full professor, females were paid less than males. But the Gender Equity Task Force report, published in 2008, discovered that the only statistically significant pay gap was at the full professor level when the numbers were adjusted for salary structures of field and rank. So, almost two years after the task force issued its report, which included recommendations on how to reduce gender inequity, how much progress has UT made in bridg- ing the gap? Statistically speaking, not much. From 2007 to 2010, the pay gap was re- duced from 4.5 percent to 3.4 percent, according to sociology professor and vice provost Judith Langlois, who is spearheading the task force’s efforts. The pay disparity has diminished slightly, but the numbers are nonetheless disappointing. Free to go Loko The culprit? Budget cuts, budget cuts, budget cuts.
