Since the traditional academic career path is based on the experiences of white males, campus women face disparate barriers, especially those with partners or dependents.

A new report from the American Council on Education highlights the critical work-life dilemmas that women in higher education experience and suggests solutions.

Commissioned by the ACE Office of Women in Higher Education and funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, "An Agenda for Excellence: Creating Flexibility in Tenure-Track Faculty Careers" encourages administrators to examine and proactively address the barriers to women entering and staying in academe, and receiving tenure.
