October 23-25, 2009, Cortland Campus Old Main Building
Given the "chilly climate" for females in the academy, this conference will focus on changing the current situation through best practices across the academy. Regional and national experts and scholars will discuss changes in academic practices, values, and institutional change. The Conference will address these essential questions through presentations, workshops, and artistic presentations:
- What are the reasons that women are not in leadership positions in higher education in general?
- What institutional practices exist to support, enhance, and cultivate gender equity in higher education?
- What values impede or promote women in leadership positions?
- What attributes or credentials are required for women in leadership positions?
