Benchmarking what women on campus need. (The Last Laugh).
It sneaked in, like many important things do, when I was preoccupied with yet another road trip.
Charity Hirsch called to ask me a question. She is a cofounder of the WAGE group (We Advocate Gender Equity) supporting female faculty at the University of California, the mother of former WIHE writer Jennifer Hirsch.
"What would help women at _____ university?" she asked me, naming "one of the most prestigious universities in the world." A faculty woman who was negotiating a settlement with this university had asked for help in creating a shopping list of improvements that would make a difference for those women who came behind her.
Great idea, I thought. Promising to get back to her on my return, I flew off and let the question simmer in my head. By then the woman had made her own list, but I shared my ideas with Charity, and now with you.
Adapted from business, the idea of benchmarking is to determine how your group stacks up against others. In this case, what are the ideal components of a culture that truly values its women, as administrators, faculty, staff or students, and how does your campus rate?
(It is not coincidental that I may attend the annual meeting of SWAAC, the Senior Women Academic Administrators of Canada in Ottawa on April 24-26, and have been asked to make a presentation on benchmarking.)
Call it utopia, call it impossible, call it incomplete, here are my suggestions of what women on campus want.
