Shaw, Sara; Hernandez-Gantes, Victor
Educational Research: Theory and Practice, v32 n2 p1-16 2021
The purpose of this study was to examine the current status of female leadership representation in four states identified from four regions of the United States. A descriptive approach to content analysis was used to examine postsecondary institutional website profiles with public access for females in executive leadership positions. Findings describe the current landscape of representation of female postsecondary leaders in presidency and vice presidency positions in Nevada, Wisconsin, New York, and Florida, and how each state's representation compares to documented national percentages of female leader representation.
