And then in some weird moment, he talks about how he "pays more in taxes that [his fellow BJU faculty members] will earn in a year."

Shameless.

By special request, we turn to the Communication Studies department, which as the chart of faculty at rank shows, is a department transitioning from a predominantly male faculty to a predominantly female faculty. When we consider salary data from the end of fiscal year 2016, we do not see large differences in the median salaries for men and women at each rank, and the median salary for female faculty at the associate level is higher than the median salary for male faculty at that rank.

However . . . since the department is small, the aggregate charts are heavily impacted by the salaries of individual people. Eight people are listed in multiple departments; of these eight people, seven are listed in more than one College of Liberal Arts and Sciences department, but one person is cross-listed in another college. The latter person has a much higher salary than other female associate-level professors, which may be due to her work in the other college (one in which salaries tend to be higher than they are in CLAS) or to her work as an administrator.  This is all to insert a cautionary suggestion that the Associate Professor category, in which the median female faculty salary is higher than the median male salary, may be unduly skewed by salary factors beyond the Communication Studies department.  If we throw out the data for that person, the median female Associate Professor salary is $66,300 and the median male Associate Professor salary is $74,711.

It's like Christmas morning for people who hate themselves.
