WATERVILLE, Maine (AP) - Six female coaches at Colby College have filed a complaint with the Maine Human Rights Commission alleging they are paid significantly less than their male counterparts.
The complaint, filed in March, says the coaches were told male coaches had “higher market value” and that the Waterville school’s men’s athletic teams receive more resources than women’s teams.
Colby College and the coaches issued a one-paragraph joint statement Friday saying they are “working together productively and collaboratively” through the Human Rights Commission and they are abiding by confidentiality rules.
