Women in academia
by Sherry Wade, Stein | November 27th, 2007
In their August/September 2007 issue, PINK magazine published “Climbing the Ivory Tower.” Take initiative and educate yourself about the gender gap in higher education administration, with insights from Rebecca Chopp, president of Colgate University, and Patricia O’Brien, UCLA Dean.
Beginning July 2007, Drew Gilpin Faust began the academic year as Harvard’s first woman president. But women still make up only 23 percent of academic president positions. They are more likely than their male counterparts to have a doctorate yet less likely to have a family. And women are far from parity with men among tenured and tenure-track faculty positions. Meet America’s top women in academia and find out what can be done about the gender gap in education.
