 \n# OREGON WOMEN FACULTY LOSE WAGE BIAS CASE;APPEAL EXPECTED\n\nSome 2,200 women faculty in the Oregon System of Higher Education received ajudicial blow to their class-action sex discrimination suit,though the womentoday are expected to bring their case to a federal appeals court.  \nThe five-year-old,sex-based pay discrimination case came to an unhappy endingfor the women faculty Friday,as U.s.District Court Judge Helen Frye ruled ina 487-page decision that Oregon's higher education system was not guilty ofintentionally underpaying its female faculty.  \nAnd of the 58 individual charges of discrimination levied by the 22 plaintiffsnamed in the case,Frye rejected all but three,which involved salary,promo-tion and tenure decisions,according to W.P。Lemman,vice chancellor for thesystem。  \n\"We don't look at the decision in terms of a victory,because this is a matterbetween parties seeking the same goal,\"Lemman said.But according to theattorney for the women faculty,final victory could still be in the women'scorner.  \nAppeal Likely     Representatives of the 2,200 women were scheduled to meetlast night to decide whether to appeal Frye's ruling to the 9th U.s.CircuitCourt of Appeals,and a vote to do_so\"is quite likely,\"said Don Willner,thewomen's attorney.Willner called Frye's decision a\"setback for the case,\"butsaid that\"anything can happen\"on appeal.  \nFrye rejected the plaintiff's attempt to prove a disparate impact,or inten-tional pattern,of discrimination on the part of the college system,and foundonly an“inference of discrimination”in three of the 58 examples of discrimi-nation,the ruling stated.The women lost,Lemman said,because they could notprove that the system intentionally sought to discriminate against them。  \nThe lawsuit sought back pay for the women who worked in the system from April1978 to the present.  \nThe women's trial petition argued that they were paid 30 percent less thantheir male colleagues and received an average of i0 percent less than the menafter statistical adjustments were made on the basis of age when hired,yearsof service,highest degree earned,how long ago the degree was earned andwhether the highest degree was earned after the hire,according to Willner.  \n\"We took all those variables into account to prove that even with proper ad-justments,a pay gap existed that could only be explained by discrimination,\"Willner said.Judge Frye found,however,that“controlling for those factorswas not enough.She wanted to see some qualitative factors also analyzed,\"he(more)  \nFebruary 20,1985  \n# OREGON WOMEN FACULTY LOSE WAGE BIAS CASE;APPEAL EXPECTED(Cont.)\n\nThe women argued that they were more often hired on fixed-term contracts thanon tenure-track agreements,were funded more often by\"soft money\"in the formof contracts,gifts or grant funds,than on general state fund \"hard money,\"and that they were hired on a part-time basis more often than on full-timestatus,court documents said(HED,Feb.16,1984).  \n\"Now that the trial is over,we'll be able to make some policy changes andimprovements,\"Lemman said,adding that the system's chancellor,William Davis,has ordered each of the system's eight campuses to conduct\"self-evaluations todetermine what steps are being taken to correct problems.\"  \n\"There's still a lot of acrimony on campus,with many women feeling they'vebeen discriminated against,\"Lemman said.\"It's time for reconciliation.\"--Greg McCaffery  \n# PREPARE NOW FOR COMPARABLE WORTH LITIGATION,CUPA MEMBERS TOLD\n\nColleges and universities can take specific preventive steps to protect them-selves in the event of comparable worth lawsuits,an employment attorney toldcollege personnel directors yesterday.  \nAlthough many colleges have been winning comparable worth lawsuits,includingthe University of Washington and last week's favorable ruling for the OregonBoard of Higher Education,the lawsuits are time-consuming and costly and theyhurt
