College says $2,000–$5,000 annual difference in pay due to “seniority” by male coaches
The U.S. Department of Education reported in its Equity in Athletics Data Analysis that all male coaches at Yavapai College on average earned from $2,000 to almost $5,000 more per year than female coaches. In a caveat to the report, that used 2017-18 data, the College explained the difference because of “increased years of service” among the male coaches. The disparity appeared to be caused primarily by the soccer team’s coaching staff.
Following below is the portion of the Equity report that focused on the disparity in coaching salaries at Yavapai Community College.
