What really works for women faculty?The challenges to women in the academy are immense: feelings of isolation, work/family balance, demands on research time, and that ever-ticking tenure clock. Maike Ingrid Philipsen's book, Challenges of the faculty career for women: Success and sacrifice (San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, 2008), outlines these challenges for tenure-earning, mid-career, and late-career women faculty and summarizes her interviews with 36 women in the academy. Here is a power-point presentation, created by Philipsen, that summarizes what really works for women faculty. Research on Women in the AcademyBelow find a variety of published reports on women faculty in the academy. • The American Association of University Professors published "Where Are Their Priorities?: Annual Report on the Economic Status of the Profession, 2007-08." This report compares salaries of faculty, football coaches, and senior administrators. •Prepared by Dwayne Smith, Vice Provost for Faculty & Program Development, "Faculty Race/Ethnicity Diversity Statistics" (2008) compares USF faculty race and diversity statistics with AAU Institutions, USF Peer Institutions, and Florida Doctoral-Granting Institutions. •Culled from M.S. West and J.W. Curtis, Faculty Gender Equity Indicators 2006, "The Status of Women Faculty Members at USF" compares 2005-2006 women's salaries at USF to those of men's salaries at peer institutions and within Florida.
