Hope I am wrong, but nearly a million spread out over a few teachers doesn’t really seem like jack-shit.

Thanks, in part to the Lilly Ledbetter Act and Justice Ginsburg's dissent that spurred the congress to act

Why is knowing a salary such a big deal? I mean don’t be nosey & ask people how much they make. It should be posted at HR for each position with an extra colum for $x-$y for pay increases by year/tenure, since each person gets a different raise if there’s no step increment pay

And the grift mill keeps paying out

I’m about 2 do the same. I recently learned, in 2009 when I was hired among 8 whites, I was the ONLY one hired with a PhD & tenure-track experience. The other 8 had only had master’s degrees, I received no teaching credits & was laid the LEAST among whites w/no doctorate. 😡

A university has a million lying around to pay stuff like this? I think they could all lower tuitions so we don’t have such a stupid country.

How would it have looked if they had fought it?

I am thinking that the only way equalization occurs is to take that admittance of wrongdoing option out of the equation. Anything less just opens the door for a repeat (until we get caught) attitude.
