03 Glazer-Raymo, Judith. (1999). Shattering The Myths: Women in Academe. Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins University Press.

Utilizes a critical feminist perspective to assess the progress of women in higher education since the 1970s. Contrasts activism of 1970s, passivity of 1980s, and ambivalence towards feminism demonstrated in 1990s. Argues changes were brought about by external forces, generational differences among women, and by intellectual and ideological struggles within the women’s movement and the larger academic culture. Provides data on women’s rank, salary, employment status, and education and draws upon the actual professional experiences of women faculty and administrators within higher education.

In the life and social sciences, the number of women receiving bachelor’s degrees equals or exceeds the number of men. However, women continue to be underrepresented as professors and elsewhere in the higher levels of science and engineering. Notes that educational background of parents has a strong impact upon the educational outcomes of young women.

Keywords: gender differences, career outcomes, labor force participation, research productivity, salary differences

09 Long, J. Scott and Fox, Mary Frank. (1995) Scientific Careers: Universalism and Particularism. Annual Review of Sociology, 21, 45-71.

Depicts the career attainments of women and minorities in science and considers the meaning and measurement of universalism (assessment that is not influenced by personal and social attributes of the scientist) and particularism (use of “functionally irrelevant characteristics,” such as gender and race in allocating rewards in science). Analyzes causes of different levels of attainment in science, by gender and race and proposes the conditions under which particularism (bias) is likely to occur.

Keywords: gender; race; careers; equity and inequity; bias


10 Fox, Mary Frank and Ferri, Vincent. (1992, September) Women, Men and Their Attributions for Success in Academe. Social Psychology Quarterly, 55, 257-271.

Keywords: women, science, intelligence, measuring inquity, equity, history of women in science


89 Rosser, Sue V. and Zieseniss, Mirellie. (2000). “Career Issues and Laboratory Climates: Different Challenges and Opportunities of Women Engineers and Scientists.” Journal of Women and Minorities in Science and Engineering 6: pp. 1-20.

Explains how environmental factors contribute to whether different disciplines of science and engineering are female-friendly and correlates this to the large discrepancies in the numbers of women in social science versus women in hard sciences. Author surveyed women in science and engineering who had received NSF POWRE (Professional Opportunities for Women in Research and Education) awards in 1997 and then contrasted the responses of the scientists and engineers to determine what sorts of problems face each group. Both groups of women named balancing work and family as the most difficult issue to resolve in their lives, while there were also some differences in other issues listed by the two groups.

Keywords: balancing work and family, career obstacles, environmental factors and career, contrasting scientists and engineers, differences between science and engineering careers

Suggests that campuses have a long way to go before they show that other forms of scholarship are accorded value equal to traditional research. Notes that institutions have begun enhancing rewards for teaching, which the author considers a notable beginning for institutions pursuing a more balanced definition of scholarship.

Keywords: promotion and tenure, evaluating faculty performance, definition of scholarship, reward structure, social partnerships, restructuring

71 Barron, Dennis. (2001, April). What It’s Like to Be Denied Tenure. The Chronicle of Higher Education: Career Network, 1-4.

Illustrates the impact of being denied tenure. Emphasizes that most tenure cases fall into a gray area in which serious arguments can be made either way about the outcome of a case. Shows that there are structured and arbitrary factors that have little connection to individual merit influencing tenure outcomes.

Keywords: promotion and tenure; individual merit; ideology of meritocracy; structural factors; arbitrary factors.

Since piecemeal efforts to improve college and university teaching have generally proven ineffective, we must turn to a comprehensive approach to faculty development, through which we can develop new methods of evaluation and diagnosis, find viable ways of introducing new technology and curricula, and explore new approaches to instructional improvement. Faculty development must give serious attention to the impact of change on the faculty member himself and on his institution. Organizational and personal development thus become essential to faculty development. It is only through such a comprehensive approach that efforts toward improvement can have lasting impact.

Keywords: faculty development, institutional climate

The University of Hawaii post-tenure review focuses on collegial professional standards rather than salary issues. By administration-union agreement chairpersons apply departmental expectations to assay deficiencies subject to final adjudication by a peer committee. Individual remediation plans emphasize faculty. Outcomes of the first review cycle are positive.

Keywords: union, peer review, compensation

This article critically examines current university tenure and promotion criteria, suggesting that such criteria are both an effect and a source of gender bias in academia. It argues that current working assumptions regarding (1) what constitutes good research, teaching, and service and (2) the relative importance of each of these endeavors reflect and perpetuate masculine values and practices, thus preventing the professional advancement of female faculty, both individually and collectively.

Keywords: gender bias, workload

A conceptual framework containing three domains for an administrative perspective on faculty evaluation is presented. The first domain deals with faculty need satisfaction; the second centers on the instructors' work environment; and the third relates to the appropriateness of evaluation tools.

Keywords: evaluation tools

Analyzing supply and demand side evidence since the 1970s, this study concludes that the increased presence of women in the academic profession has been most marked in fields abandoned and off-track positions historically avoided by academic men, which has profoundly affected the nature of the academy itself.

Keywords: gender bias, status

This study explores the relationship between the traditional system of faculty ranks and faculty research productivity from the perspectives of behavioral reinforcement theory and of selection function. We generated and tested six hypotheses, using data from the 1989 Carnegie survey of faculty. The results failed to support completely either the reinforcement schedule theory or the selection function.

Keywords: rewards, research

Because suggestions for improving undergraduate education are unlikely to be enacted by faculty if requisite norms are not present, we examined six recommendations from the literature to determine whether the corresponding prevailing norms were endorsed by faculty members. Norms were found to be extant for three of the recommendations, but they were largely absent for the other three, which therefore require strong personal control for successful implementation.

Keywords: incentives, performance, workload

Newly hired tenure-track faculty were interviewed in the first and third year of appointment. Findings indicated a decrease in job satisfaction and increase in job-related stress. Factors driving stress and satisfaction varied over time. Understanding junior faculty needs can enhance faculty development efforts at this critical stage.

Keywords: balance, stress, rewards, satisfaction
