Re: “,” Nov. 3 guest commentary.
I am a University of Denver law school graduate of 1975, a time when female students were very scarce and there were no female faculty. In the spring of my senior year, DU finally hired two women professors, one of them Lucy Marsh, who has headed the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) lawsuit, which is now pending.
It is with great sadness that I continue to follow the horrible history of many years of consistently underpaying DU law professors who are women (up to $20,000 per year) and DU’s resistance in resolving this injustice in an equitable and fair way. If you add up the number of women (10) times the number of years (10-40) times the payment discrepancy, it comes to an unbelievable amount for which DU has profited on these women’s backs.
I also find it distressing that my law school allegedly continues to violate the very laws they are teaching.
