Women dominate university graduates, so why not university leadership positions?

By Terri Macdonald. An online article in Women's Agenda by Conrad Liveris asks why there aren't more women in leadership roles in our universities, when there are more women graduating?
Liveris notes that tertiary education is a haven of activity for women, as both staff and students, but it obvious that equity issues still remain:
Of the nearly 1.1 million students at university 57% are women, making up 53% of all tertiary students in Australia. Women have already made the government's target for 40% of people holding a bachelor's degree, with men still in the mid-30% range.While the above stats reference a 2008 study on such gender breakdowns, there's been little evidence to indicate how wide the gap currently is. The tertiary education sector has a distinct focus on the gender balance with students, but more research needs to be done to give female academics a practical pathway to leadership.
