Abstract
This paper analyzes a national sample of postsecondary faculty first to determine whether treatment of female faculty is perceived as fair and second to examine what institutional characteristics are related to fair treatment. The results indicate that the majority of male and female faculty believe female faculty are treated fairly. However, perceived treatment varies with a number of institutional and faculty characteristics.
