WOMEN PROFESSORS GET PARITY PAY RAISES

Virginia Commonwealth University has begun boosting the salaries of female professors to bring them in line with those of male counterparts.

The first pay increases in the $321,000 program came in Monday's paychecks.

A school survey found its female professors earned an average of almost $2,000 less than their male colleagues during the 1990-91 school year.

The average raise was about $1,900 for the 168 full-time, tenure-track women professors. One woman's salary was increased 40 percent, or about $11,900, school officials said.
