Top nine universities pledge to help women.(NEWSWATCH)
The leaders of nine of the country's top research universities recently announced that they will work to remove barriers that keep women from participating in careers in academia. They pledged to have their schools develop academic personnel policies and institutional resources, as well as work on creating campus cultures that better support family commitments.
While women make up more than half of the PhDs now being awarded to U.S. citizens, they are still only about 25% of the nation's professors.
The Nine Presidents group first met in 2001 in response to a MIT report that found gender inequities at all levels of faculty. The group has supported better family accommodation policies such as tenure clock extensions for adoptions or childbirth, on-site daycare and spousal/partner assistance programs.
The group's newly released statement is intended to promote gender equity, help attract and retain women faculty, and enable all faculty to have fulfilling personal and professional lives.
