TITLE: Women in Colleges and Universities. Equity for Women
in Higher Education Project.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1978

ABSTRACT: Seven themes concerning the role of women in
higher education institutions are considered,
generalizations about each theme are proposed, and
literature supporting each area is cited. The analyses are
designed for use as training modules for enhancing women's
equity in colleges and universities. The seven themes are
as follows: the productivity of women faculty members,
recruitment and selection of women faculty members, women
faculty and the university reward system, socialization of
women in colleges and universities, administrative
opportunities for women in colleges and universities,
responses of women to discriminatory behavior in colleges
and universities. It is suggested that the topics can be
separated and used singly in several ways (e.g., as class
presentations, informational units for college
administrators and faculty, or as basic information for a
newsletter). Questions are posed for each area in order to
provoke examination of the issues at the personal and
institutional levels of experience. References are
included, and a slide tape and transparencies are available
to accompany the print materials. (SW)
