Stacy A. Wenzel, Carol Hollenshead

Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

Despite increases in efforts by universities to recruit and hire women, progress in increasing women’s representation among tenured faculty continues to be slow. Yet little has been done to increase our understanding of the complex set of factors that influence retention of women faculty. To help close this gap, we offer the results of a qualitative analysis of interviews with women who voluntarily left their untenured and tenured faculty positions at one research university. WOMEN FACULTY AND WHY THEY LEFT ONE RESEARCH UNIVERSITY
