Hill, Catherine; Miller, Kevin; Benson, Kathleen; Handley, Grace – American Association of University Women, 2016
Despite women's impressive gains in education and the workplace over the past 50 years, men greatly outnumber women in leadership, especially in top positions.

Costrell, Robert; Podgursky, Michael – National Center on Performance Incentives, 2009
While it is generally understood that defined benefit pension systems concentrate benefits on career teachers, and impose costs on mobile teachers, there has been very little analysis of the magnitude of these features and patterns of variation between states. The authors develop a measure of implicit redistribution of pension wealth among…

Wellman, Jane V.; Desrochers, Donna M.; Lenihan, Colleen M.; Kirshstein, Rita J.; Hurlburt, Steve; Honegger, Steve – Delta Project on Postsecondary Education Costs, Productivity and Accountability, 2009
How do colleges and universities spend their money? To most, it's a black box.
