Presentation and Discussion Topic
Higher Education Plays Critical Role in Society: More Women Leaders Can Make a Difference
In the 21st century, institutions of higher education hold one of the most important roles in shaping the future of our society. Research indicates that a strong system of higher education is a significant contributor to the country’s ability to compete in the global marketplace and is critical to our economic strength, social well-being, and position as a world leader. Colleges and universities are complex organizations facing difficult and multifaceted challenges. One of those challenges is who will serve as the next generation of leaders. With the significant turn-over in leadership at colleges and universities expected in the coming years, attention must be paid to identifying and developing well-qualified and prepared leaders. Although study after study show the strength of women as innovative, productive, and successful leaders, barriers still exist to their advancement. As a result, the number of women in leadership positions lags greatly behind. The overall percentage of women leading colleges and universities remains disproportionately low at 26% despite the fact that 59% of students served by those colleges and universities are women. Current senior leadership should be intentional in working to increase the diversity in leadership by establishing inclusive cultures on campus and implementing accountability for its achievement.
