ABSTRACT: Information is presented on women as students,
women graduates in the job market, women as faculty members
and administrators, and the status of affirmative action.
Women's enrollment in undergraduate education, traditional
and nontraditional majors, enrollment in graduate and
professional schools, degrees earned, dropout information,
and the salary and status of women faculty members and
administrators are covered. Vigorous enforcement of federal
laws is advocated to provide equal opportunity in higher
education and equal access to jobs upon graduation.
Affirmative action plans, with goals and timetables, are
needed, since the statistics show women are unemployed more
often than men, underemployed, and more often underpaid.
Being qualified is not yet enough to guarantee equality of
opportunity. (SW)

This is an ERIC database document. ERIC is the National
Education Information Network for providing ready access
to the literature of education -descriptions of exemplary
programs, research and development efforts, and related
information that can be used in developing more effective
educational programs. The ERIC database is currently
available on CD-ROM in the main library (ground floor of
