 ==Legal and other disputes with Columbia==
-Chichilnisky's original [[1991]] lawsuit against Columbia arose out of concerns about women's pay and their ability to attain promotions. Specifically, she alleged that the university was violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Pay Act of 1963. After two years of countersuits, the university settled with Chichilnisky for $500,000 in damages, a $60k salary increase, and her promotion to UNESCO professor, with a bonus salary of $50k for the post. Columbia also increased the salaries of four other female faculty members and helped pay the expenses of her research institute, PIR. Finally, in 1996, the university released a report on pay equity, acknowledging ground to make up with regard to female salaries.

-By [[2000]], the terms of this agreement had strained. Columbia was seeking to reviews the terms of the UNESCO professorship, having stopped payment to Chichilnisky related to the title. In its quest for office space on the increasingly cramped [[Morningside Heights campus]], it also restricted Chichilnisky to one office, closing down the office she had used for PIR. The university also froze her access to $2m of funds she had raised for the institute.

In response, Chichilnisky sought and obtained a restraining order against the university that prevented further interruptions of PIR's work. In mediation, the university restored her UNESCO chair, but did not unfreeze the PIR funds.

+==Legal and other disputes with Columbia==
-Her original complaint against Columbia arose out of a conflict over her multiple campus offices. The university, seeking to maximize available space, sought to confine her to one office. Chichilnisky, however, asserted her right to an office in each of the departments in which she taught, and alleged that gender bias was behind the decision to restrict not only her number of offices, but her pay and her ability to attain promotions as well. After bringing suit against the university for its actions, she settled for $200,000. She is currently encouraging other faculty members to bring gender bias claims against the university.
