Recent analyses of gender based salary differentials among University faculty have focused on colleges and universities which are quite different from those used in earlier (pre‐1975) studies. To facilitate comparisons with previous studies we examine gender earnings differentials during the 1983–84 academic year at Kent State University, a school similar to those studied in the pre‐1975 period. Our results suggest that after controlling for differentials in productivity‐related characteristics and market influences, there is little evidence of gender based salary discrimination at Kent State during 1983–84.
