University of Arizona settles multimillion-dollar gender pay dispute
The University of Arizona has reached a $2.6 million settlement to end a lawsuit from employees who claim they were paid less because of their gender. From 2022 to 2026, the plaintiffs argued that women working in enrollment services at the University of Arizona Global Campus were paid less than the men in those same roles. Up to 185 people could see payouts from the settlement approved by the Arizona Board of Regents in a unanimous vote Oct. 1. The university will foot the bill for $1.05 million. The rest will be paid out by the state’s Department of Risk Management through a self-insurance program. All settlements over $250,000 involving Arizona's major public universities must be approved by the Board of Regents. The Equal Pay Act, created in 1963, prohibits sex-based wage discrimination. UAGC is an online university at UA, separate from its existing online courses at the University of Arizona Online. UA officials deny the accusations, saying the settlement was in the best interests of the school. The workers contend the university paid senior enrollment services providers who were women $14,425 less on average, according to court documents. Other, more senior providers were paid $4,745 less, they said. UAGC

Inside Arizona's Crean Lutheran Pipeline
How the Bear Down Brotherhood helped Arizona land five players from Crean Lutheran HS in its 2027 recruiting class. They say a picture is worth 1,000 words. But what about a feeling? There are a lot of schools across the country that will tell you they have a strong "culture" and "family" within their program. But there are others that don't have to say a word. When you walk through the doors of a program like that, you just feel it – that strong, family-oriented culture. Those values and sense of brotherhood are exactly the kind of culture Brent Brennan and his staff have built in Tucson. And it's the reason why the Wildcats are loading up the 2027 recruiting class with talent on both sides of the ball from a hotbed in Southern California.
