Women in Higher Education Revisited:

چکیده
Today’s women in higher education administration are the beneficiaries of previous generations of courageous and committed women who challenged societal rules and expectations governing women in the academy. This research study revisits the cross-generational conversations initiated by Astin and Leland (1991) by exploring female administrators’ current perceptions regarding their status in higher education at a public, four-year research university. Women employed as administrators spanning three generations with diverse backgrounds and familial statuses were interviewed. The qualitative data was transcribed and analyzed. Five themes emerged to characterize the current perceptions of the status of the women administrators on campus. Recommendations are offered to support and empower future generations within the academy.
