While a 4.4 percent earnings gap between male and female administrators is initially identified, much of the gap is explained by earnings inequality across academic fields and by the career experience of the administrators. Administrators who specialize in professional fields such as engineering, health sciences, law, and social work earn between 12 percent and 33 percent more than administrators who specialize in liberal fields in the humanities and social sciences.  \nKeywords: academic executive, compensation, field of study, gender, salary  \nRésumé  \nCette étude examine les différences de salaire selon le sexe et le domaine de spécialisation chez les cadres supérieurs des universités, y compris les présidents, les vice-présidents, les vice-présidents associés, les vice-présidents adjoints et les doyens, à l’aide de données de la province canadienne de l’Ontario. Si initialement un écart salarial de 4,4 % est présent entre les administrateurs hommes et femmes, cet écart s’explique en grande partie par l’inégalité des salaires entre les domaines de spécialisation et par l’expérience professionnelle des administrateurs. Les administrateurs spécialisés dans des domaines professionnels tels que l’ingénierie, les sciences de la santé, le droit et le travail social ont des salaires de 12 % à 33 % plus élevés que les administrateurs spécialisés dans les domaines libéraux en sciences humaines et sociales.  \nMots-clés : gestionnaire académique, rémunération, domaine d'études, genre, salaire  \nIntroduction  \nThere has been growing interest in the topic of executive compensation as the wages of executives have, over the past few decades, grown significantly faster than the wages of those they manage, particularly in the United States (e.g. Mishel & Sabadish, 2013) and Canada (e.g. Mendleson, 2012) . However, few studies have examined compensation among senior university administrators, also referred to in the literature as academic executives, i.e. those who manage universities. Furthermore, as most studies of administrator compensation have focused solely on university presidents, little work has been done to assess differences in compensation among administrators below the rank of president. This study examines earnings differences by gender and academic  \nfield among administrators throughout the organizational hierarchy.  \nA large body of literature has examined earnings differences between males and females and has identified productivity related, non-productivity related, and possible discriminatory factors contributing to earnings differences. Given that compensating men and women with equivalent qualifications differently for performing the same job is unethical, identifying whether such practice still occurs in the university sector would be of key public interest.  \nStudies of university faculty earnings (e.g. Brown, Troutt, & Prentice, 2011; Ehrenberg, McGraw, & Mrdjenovic, 2006) have shown that those in professional disciplines, (for example business, engineering, and law),  \nCanadian Journal of Higher Education | Revue canadienne d’enseignement supérieur 49:3 (2019)   \nearn significantly more than those in liberal disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. However, whether earnings differentials by academic field among faculty translate into earnings differentials among already highly compensated administrators has not been thoroughly explored in the literature to date.  \nThe literature examining compensation for university administrators is small and focused primarily on the earnings of university presidents / vice-chancellors.
