The University of Guelph has announced all female faculty members will receive a raise to address an acknowledged inequity in the salaries between male and female faculty members. The story can be found here. The University of Waterloo had done the same 2 years ago. When will Brock follow suit?

The problem of discrepancies (large and wide) between female and male faculty members with equivalent qualifications is a systemic problem that affects Brock as much as it does other institutions. The university would be well served to acknowledge this and address it. It should also examine the salaries of non-faculty members at Brock and verify whether such inequities also exist there and address them if they do.

Because it is 2018?
