Yale University to Pay $87,500 Settlement For Alleged Pay Discrimination

Attorney George F. Indest IIIBy George F. Indest III, J.D., M.P.A., LL.M., Board Certified by The Florida Bar in Health Law

Yale University agreed to pay $87,500 to resolve discrimination allegations with the U.S. Department of Labor. The discrimination alleged that the Ivy League school paid four women cardiologists significantly less than their male colleagues from October 2016 to September 2017. While not admitting the allegations, the university agreed to the settlement which will reportedly cover the difference in pay for the women affected, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) said.

Alleged Pay Discrimination.

The OFCCP first detected the pay disparities during a routine compliance audit of the university’s medical school, the agreement said. The agency found that in 2016, Yale University paid four female cardiologists less than similarly situated male physicians at the School of Medicine’s Cardiovascular Medicine Section.

According to the settlement, Yale hired the doctors as part of the university’s “acquisition of community practices and hospitals associated with the Yale-New Haven Hospital System.” In 2018, Yale allegedly cut the women doctors’ employment category and moved them to a new faculty category. OFCCP claims that the medical school category is supposed to have a uniform compensation structure in place. Click here to read the settlement agreement in full.

In response to the allegations, a Yale was quoted as saying: “The conciliation agreement involves only four employees out of a workforce of over 16,000. OFCCP admitted that it found no pay disparities as to any but these four employees, who held roles in an employment category that has not existed for over two years.”

What does this show us? That at least in federal programs and in educational institutions and medical programs receiving federal funds, discrimination is prohibited and action will be taken to remedy it.

Yale Teaching Hospital Sued For Age, Disability Discrimination By EEOC

George Indest HeadshotBy George F. Indest III, J.D., M.P.A., LL.M., Board Certified by The Florida Bar in Health Law
On February 11, 2020, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) sued Yale-New Haven Hospital (YNNH), accusing the university’s hospital of discriminating against older doctors. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut, accusing the teaching hospital of the Yale School of Medicine of violating federal anti-discrimination laws. The hospital allegedly violated federal law by adopting and implementing a discriminatory “Late Career Practitioner Policy,” according to the complaint filed by EEOC officials.

Yale’s Late Career Practitioner Policy.

The EEOC stated that it appeared that Yale violated federal laws by forcing physicians over age 70 to take neuropsychological and eye exams in order to gain or keep their medical staff privileges. Younger doctors were not subject to this “Late Career Practitioner Policy,” the EEOC claimed.

By subjecting doctors, dentists, and podiatrists to screening evaluations based solely on their age, without regard to any particular suspicion about their mental ability or eyesight, the hospital’s policy violates the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), the EEOC alleges in its complaint. You can view the complaint in full on our website.

Additionally, the suit alleges that the policy violates the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which specifically prohibits subjecting employees to medical examinations that are not job-related and consistent with business necessity.

The EEOC is seeking compensatory and punitive damages and injunctive relief against Yale, which includes the elimination of the policy, according to its press release. Read the full statement and press released issued by the EEOC here.
