    Engendering Leadership Conference Proceedings

    Walking on the WILD side: Lessons from university women and a university wide leadership program Jennifer Weir & Jan Thomas Murdoch University [email protected] [email protected] Abstract This paper was prompted by an Australian Universities Quality Agency (AUQA) recommendation in the 2006 Murdoch University audit report, as well as our own perceived inconsistency between espoused equity values, and the realities for women academics. While the sector has had increasing government regulation more broadly, gender parity in governance for Universities has gone largely unnoticed by successive governments. This paper will explore some of these national higher education issues alongside the institutional and move towards a more multilevel analysis. Introduction In attempting to explain the lack of progress in raising the representation of women in senior academic roles not only in this particular university, but in Australia more broadly, a number of issues emerge including the importance of gender awareness and appreciation in the full range of professional development programs, the absolute need for cross-institutional coordination/alignment, and systematic approaches to achieving gender parity in universities. A 2007 report in the Times Higher Education suggested that while the number of women academics has steadily risen in the UK and will overtake that of men within two years (ie by 2009), it will be 50 years before equivalence is reached at the professorial level. Professor John Pratt’s analysis showed that “the glass ceiling effect is still evident. Even if institutions stopped appointing male professors, it would be 15 years before there were as many female professors as males because the starting point was so low” (Tysome 2007).
