I believe more women faculty are in non-STEM fields.

Also I believe at many schools faculty pay partly comes from the grants they are able to bring in. Grants in STEM fields are significanty larger than in non-STEM fields.

Note: all ths was true 20 or so yrs ago. I presume the imbalance is even greater today
