ABSTRACT: A study was conducted to determine the extent to
which women and minorities were employed as administrators
and faculty members at two-year colleges. State directors of
two-year colleges and individual institutions provided data
representing 770 public two-year colleges in 48 states.
Study findings included the following: (1) the percentage of
female and minority administrators rose from 25.66% in 1975
to 39.16% in 1983; (2) faculties showed a more modest
increase from 39.23% in 1975 to 42.86% in 1983; (3) 145
public two-year community colleges had no minority
administrators, 30 had no female administrators, and 21 had
neither a minority nor a female administrator; (4) there
were no minority faculty members at 63 campuses and no women
faculty members at one college; (5) 23 of the colleges with
no minority faculty members had no minority administrators
either; and (6) although New York compared favorably to the
rest of the nation in terms of the employment of female
administrators and faculty, the state fell far short of
national averages with respect to minorities. The study
report includes recommendations for improving minority and
female representation on two-year college faculties and
administrations. (EJV)
