The Texas Tribune is in the process of filing Freedom of Information requests for detailed information from state institutions and agencies on the breakdown between the median wages of men and women on their payrolls. This project is ongoing, and not all universities are in the Tribune"s database.
Private universities do not have to release such information, and both Texas Christian University and Texas Wesleyan University declined our request for information. The University of North Texas is not in the Tribune"s database and at the time of writing had not responded with the numbers.
The University of North Texas Health Science Center, however, did respond with two sets of numbers.
Keep in mind that these are aggregate numbers including salaries for all employees from the most highly paid to the lowlier paid. Also keep in mind that separating staff from faculty, as is done below for UNTHSC, can result in radically different numbers.illustration by Steven Craig
