Leadership in Higher Education:
A Path to Greater Racial and Gender Diversity
A project funded by the Ford Foundation
Leadership in Higher Education: A Path to Greater Racial and Gender Diversity is a Ford Foundation-funded two-year project which aimed to analyze the impact of women’s leadership in higher education on racial and gender diversity among faculty, staff, and students, and within curricula. The analysis was based on the actual experiences of women leaders and the latest data and scholarship on diversity and leadership. Together with Advisory Committee Members—some of today’s top authorities on the subject—the Council identifed best practices for enhancing diversity; identified leadership models provided by senior women administrators that create and sustain greater diversity; and analyzed the administrative and leadership architecture necessary to support those practices. The purpose of the project was to make widely available in print and on the internet models of good leadership, innovative practices, and institutional change strategies that can be replicated in a variety of colleges and universities. These findings were disseminated to the Council’s diverse networks: member centers; Presidents Circle and Corporate Circle; and to the media, foundations, policymakers and other strategic segments of the general public.
The Council hosted a Summit in June 2006. Please click on the links below for more information.
