Well, well, well. Vassar College, the Oberlin College of the East, is being sued in a class action by female professors for sex discrimination in compensation and promotions.

Vassar, once a women’s college, holds itself out as a leader in Gender Equality, so much so that then Governor Andrew Cuomo announced the Women’s Equality Act at Vassar …

So there’s a certain irony in Vassar being accused of pay inequality.

[Professor Jacobson shows his integrity by disclosing the bad blood between himself and Vassar while reporting on this, which strengthens his credibility. Although the self-disclosed grin on his face while writing about this lawsuit from five female professors at Vassar might be an issue for some. Not for me, however. Read it all. — Ed]
