From Morning Report, 8:35 am on 2 December 2020

Māori and Pasifika female academics are paid nearly $8000 less a year than their non-Māori and Pasifika male counterparts. 

That's just one of the findings from a new study, led by Dr Tara McAllister at the research centre Te Pūnaha Matatini - which has revealed the gender and ethnic disparities in New Zealand universities.
