This paper discusses some of the problems that might be encountered by black female college administrators and suggests several methods by which they may acquire and maintain power. Particular attention is given to the role that black administrators can play in helping black students in white institutions overcome various forms of discrimination and achieve success. Specific responsibilities that black administrators in white institutions might assume are outlined. Suggestions are also offered as to ways that will help black female administrators deal with the situation of working in a traditionally white male field. (EB)
