Pay Gap

Studies show that women get paid less because they allow it to happen.

“Women are concerned about damaging the relationship,” said Laura Browne, a Phoenix program manager with Women Unlimited, in an artcicle in the Arizona Republic. “They are concerned that if they ask for more money, thier boss will be mad at them.”

TCU has offered several seminars geared toward women teaching them how to negotiate thier salary.

Earlier in the semester Tammy Hughes, a modivational speaker talked about the differences in men and women at work. She said that women are more timid than men and their salaries reflect that.

Also, the women’s studies department did a three part series on women in the work place in conjunction with the Neeley School.

The university is doing what it can to make sure TCU women are confident negotiators and get what they are worth.
