College says $2,000–$5,000 annual difference in pay due to “seniority” by male coaches
The U.S. Department of Education reported in its Equity in Athletics Data Analysis that all male coaches at Yavapai College on average earned from $2,000 to almost $5,000 more per year than female coaches. In a caveat to the report, that used 2017-18 data, the College explained the difference because of “increased years of service” among the male coaches. The disparity appeared to be caused primarily by the soccer team’s coaching staff.

In an article by Rachel Leingang, Arizona Republic, October 11, 2019 it was reported that enrollment had dropped at Northern Arizona University this fall for the first time in 14 years.

The Yavapai Community College Governing Board extended the current sweetheart contract for the position of Governing Board attorney for two years. It went to the Phoenix law firm that has represented the College Governing Board (not the College) for around a decade, possibly more. Under the extension, the firm will receive a flat fee of $2,100 for one of its lawyers attending any Governing Board meeting, regardless of length. (The October meeting lasted three and a half hours according to the video tape of the meeting—a charge of about $600 per hour based on the new contract extension.) The firm will also charge $385 an hour for any office work that the Governing Board might think its needs.
