Multiple Linear Regression Analysis
Multiple regression analysis of salary vs rank/step. As indicated in Table 1, the simplest model with only demographic variables shows that relative to white male faculty, women earn salaries that are around 13% lower, Asian faculty 13% lower, and URM faculty 16% higher. Only 22% of salary variation is explained by this model. After all control factors are added, 74% of salary variation is explained by a model with demographic, experience, field, and rank variables. After adjusting for covariates, relative to white male faculty, salaries are around 8% lower for faculty who are women, 1% higher for Asian, and 15% higher for URM faculty. In the final model, Male faculty earning 8% more than Female faculty, and URM faculty earning 15% more than white faculty are statistically significant. The final model predicted salaries within plus or minus 27.3%. (For technically-minded readers, the RMSE on the log base 10 scale is 0.052.)
Progress Rate Analysis
The School of Law has a unique progression structure that doesn’t lend itself to analyses in the same way as the rest of campus. Future studies will work with key stakeholders in the School of Law to analyze progress in ways that best reflect what normal progress is.
