I have been looking at the E-town web site. It brings lots of happy memories for me. My father taught Sociology there, while I went to school from 3rd - 5th grade at Mill Road School. I have wanted to come back home for a visit for some time, and am hopefully gong to be able to do it this fall. It is nice to see that E-town is still a small community! The college still does not have a football team - too violent, when I recall living there. However at that time, men and women had a field hockey team! Thanks!!

To Dana: 1st, the difference is $7,500. Second, you must realize that some types of faculty positions pay more than others. For example engineering usually pays more than music or english. Traditionally, more men than women go into engineering. FOr that reason, some types of faculty tend to be male, and that is one of the sources of salary differences between men and women.

Dana Ask your psychiatrist to change your medication or find a new shrink. E-Town is presently not for you nor you for it. In the meantime, keep your existing business going.

Aimee almost 3 years ago Aimee


Sorry, Dana, but as much as we all preach "equal opportunity" employment, men still get paid more than women at a lot of places-- not just Etown. Don't let that ruin your perception of the college. I'm about to enter my senior year there, and I wish it was my first year all over again. I love Etown and wouldn't want to have spend the last 3 years anywhere else : )

Dana probably wouldn't get accepted here, anyway - she needs spelling/grammar lessons BADLY! ("unexceptible" "it's" "warrents" "completley" "see's") Give me a break!!

Dana Shirey almost 3 years ago Dana Shirey


I 58 years old, it's time to return to college. I see something interesting that warrents my comment. Why is it that the woman faculty earn $10,000. less per year than your male faculty? As a woman who has worked hard all my life, own my own business, find that completley unexceptible and would never attend a school that see's less value in it's woman! SHAME ON YOU!!!
