Roosevelt u models search for diverse campus leaders.
For the first time in the 63-year history of Roosevelt University in downtown Chicago IL, women hold more senior leadership positions than men do. Of its top leaders on the Executive Council, women outnumber men six to four, while four of the University's six deans are female.
It didn't happen by accident.
"There is a sense of collaboration and a real excitement about working together at the highest levels at Roosevelt University," said Mary Hendry, the VP for enrollment and student services who was the only woman on the Executive Council when she arrived 12 years ago.
"Women are definitely having a more visible, leading role in the forward progress of the University," said Dr. Antonia Potenza, also an Executive Council member and VP of the Schaumburg Campus.
With women as a majority of its senior leadership team, Roosevelt is breaking barriers and breaking away from a national norm in higher education in which men have continued to dominate as senior leaders.
Presidential push
At Roosevelt, the directive to attract and hire from an inclusive pool of job candidates--including women, people of color, professionals from outside higher education and those of varying ages--came from President Dr. Charles R. Middleton.
