Gender Pay Lawsuit against SIU School of Medicine & SIU Healthcare
SIU School of Medicine and SIU Healthcare (aka SIU Physicians & Surgeons, Inc.) are being sued for pay discrimination by Plaintiff Dr. Sajida Ahad.
Equal Pay Act Claim
If you are a female physician employed by SIU or SIU Healthcare within three years of September 27, 2017, you should receive a Court-authorized notice.
If you did not or you have questions about the notice you received, please call Bryan Wood at 312-554-8600 or email him at [email protected].
Other Pay Discrimination Claims
Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint alleges multiple claims of gender discrimination. The Court’s decision authorizing notice only addresses one of those claims – her claim under the Equal Pay Act.
Defendants SIU School of Medicine and SIU Healthcare deny any wrongdoing.
But Dr. Sajida Ahad’s expert – D.C. Sharp, Ph.D. – analyzed SIU’s compensation data from 2010-2016 and found female physician professors received at least $12,000/year less annually than comparable males. The parties’ expert reports are available here:
Dr. Sharp’s Report – 48-3 Exhibit C
Dr. Song’s Report – 48-4 Exhibit D
Dr. Sharp’s Reply – 48-6 Exhibit F
