The Women in Higher Education website is a national monthly practitioner's
news journal that contains articles and statistics that is designed to
enlighten, encourage, empower and enrage. One example is their chart of
"Gender Differences in 1997-1998 Administrative Salaries" included in their
statistics.

AAUW has a fact sheet regarding affirmative action which sheds light on the
cost of inequity. http://www.aauw.org/1000/affact.html

The AFL-CIO did a survey regarding equal pay for working families. Their
findings can be found at: http://www.aflcio.org/women/exec99.htm
"More than two-thirds of all mothers in the United States work for
pay. Two-earner families are today's norm among married couples, and a
growing number of single women provide most or all of their families'
support. Altogether, almost two-thirds of all working women and slightly
more than half of married women responding to the AFL-CIO's 1997 Ask A
Working Woman survey said they provide half or more of their families'
incomes."
The Dept. of Education has a document about Title IX. One section focuses
on "Opening up the Professions and Opportunities for Employment" which is
located at :
http://www.ed.gov/pubs/TitleIX/part4.html#professions
At the federal level, the Women's Bureau has wage and occupational data at
http://www.dol.gov/dol/wb/public/programs/1w&occ.htm
Jane Roland Martin wrote an interesting paper called "Bound for the
promised land: The gendered character of higher education." Topics
addressed include: inadequate representation of women in the
professoriate; the absence of women in the course content; and the chilly
coeducation classroom climate.
