Pennsylvania State University will pay $703,742 in back wages and interest to dozens of female employees who alleged they were paid less than their male counterparts, the U.S. Department of Labor announced Wednesday.
A compliance review conducted by the department found that since 2020, Penn State paid 65 women less than men holding similar jobs in facilities, extension education and senior administration; a handful of female faculty were also affected, according to the settlement.
