Both OHSU and the OSU College of Pharmacy have been connected with shared faculty. The OHSU Pharmacy Department has been affiliated with programs such as Blood-Brain Barrier and AFSCME Labor/Management Cooperation, and contributed to publications like Postscripts. "Doing Comparable Worth: Gender, Class and Pay Equity" was written by Joan Acker and published in 1989. Using feminist theory, Acker detailed a study conducted by the state of Oregon on comparable pay between men and women with the evaluation of 35,000 jobs.
