Professor Linda Tesar, Professor Basit Zafar, and PhD Student Kenneth Hofmeister

In the "University of Michigan Gender Salary Study: 2024 Update," Linda Tesar, the Alan V. Deardorff Collegiate Professor of Economics and professor of economics, and Basit Zafar, professor of economics, and Kenneth Hofmeister, a Ph.D. student in economics analyze faculty salaries at the University of Michigan, showing no significant gender pay gap after accounting for key factors. The study, which focused on 2,174 tenured and tenure-track faculty (excluding the Medical School), found the "raw" gender salary gap had decreased from 14.8% in 2012 to 12.3%. After adjustments, the gap dropped to less than 1%, with no statistical significance. This reflects progress in the university’s gender equity efforts. The study also noted an increase in the number of women faculty members over the past decade.
