Organizational Influences on Sex Composition of College and University Faculty: A Research Note.

Bach, Rebecca L.; Perrucci, Carolyn C.

Sociology of Education, v57 n3 p193-98 Jul 1984

The student body size and the percentage of female deans affect the odds at both universities and colleges that a faculty member is a woman. Proximity to a large urban area and student selectivity affect the faculty sex composition of colleges; federal funding and nepotism were organizational influences at universities. (Author/RM)
