This study sought to explore the influence of gender stereotyping on career choices among secondary school students in Moshi rural district. Specifically, the study sought to examine the knowledge of career requirements among secondary school students, assess gender differences in career choice among secondary school students and examine the extent to which gender stereotyping beliefs influence career choices among secondary school students Moshi rural district. A total number of 299 students participated in the study. Data were collected using questionnaire. Data were analyzed quantitatively using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Frequencies and percentage were used to determine the level of career information and knowledge. Chi squire was used in determining the association among the variables of the study. (T-test) was conducted to compare means scores of stereotyping of career of sex and subject specialization. The study revealed that students had better knowledge on different types of careers available in the world of work. It was revealed that, teachers, parents, relatives, books, television, career role models, radio and the internet were sources of career information among secondary school students. In addition, the results showed a significant difference between re-categorized career and sex with a large effect size of, χ2 (1, n = 299) = 36.821, p =< .005, phi =.-351).

The presentation discusses a definition of cataloging, ISBD, AACR2 and the future of cataloging, with acronyms like FRBR and RDA and what they might mean for school libraries.
RDA (Resource Description and Access) is a new standard for describing library resources, designed to replace AACR2. Library staff, including public services, systems personnel, and catalogers, may have heard mention of RDA but not know much about it or how it will change their daily work. You may have many questions. What is RDA? We'll give a very little bit of history and theoretical background. What is this going to mean for catalogers, ILS managers, and users in the near term? What are the future implications, or, why are we doing this? What are the juicy bits of controversy in cataloger-land? And finally, Do we HAVE to? We'll talk for a while, have some activities that get you thinking, and find out your thoughts on RDA.

A longitudinal research about women situation in universities in Iran (1991-2...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: During the last decades, measurable improvements have occurred in women conditions in Iran.
Some of the areas of improvements are: Women‟s life expectancy and literacy rate, acceptance at universities,
and rise of gender-adjusted index of human development. However, their representation in university
management and leadership has been constantly low. A longitudinal study has been conducted in three large
universities in Iran: Tehran, ShahidBeheshti, and AllamehTabataba‟i Universities. The findings of this crosssectional research, at four sections (1991, 2001, 2011, and 2021), reveal that during the last three decades, this
deficiency has been a continuous trend in our universities. This means that women presence in managerial and
leading positions has not caught up proportionately with their other improvements and still is very low. The
article ends up with some suggestions in order to improve women situation in Iran universities.

This study was undertaken to present the functions of gender for promotion and describe the forms of gender discrimination in the workplace. The researchers present knowledge about the Gender discrimination in the workplace and the study is deemed significant for it benefit the following sectors and groups of person; This study is therefore useful socially, economically and academically. Socially it enables employees to co-exist peacefully without discriminating against others due to their ethnic background, gender or race. The researchers used descriptive method, method of research which is a fact-finding study with adequate and accurate interpretation of data. It describes with emphasis what actually exist such as the current condition of the phenomenon. The respondents of the study were the employees and employers of selected business establishments in Cabanatuan city. First, the researchers presented the profile of the respondents as to age; sex; highest educational attainment; length of service and period of promotion granted .Next is the functions of sex in promotion and the forms of discrimination in the workplace. For the summary of findings and conclusions, majority of the respondents are not new in their work, female dominated the study, respondents were promoted after their provisionary period. Female are more supportive and approachable while male are more cooperative in the study. The respondents are continue seeking knowledge to be promoted or to have a higher position. Respondents are not new in service or in their job. Respondents are promoted after their provisionary period. Male easy recognize the scenario and straight forward in decision making. Men prefer a hierarchical leadership structure because it allows for easier role clarity and delegation of authority. Employers and employees are both believe in the patriarchal leadership that male are superior but women communicate properly in the workplace because they are more perfectionist and meticulous .Male are direct to the point in controlling the organization ,they do not use any further words to give their thought unlike women. And it is not usual for male to have corrective actions in every undertakings. Women are more efficient and almost perfectionist in all actions to be done .Women are less competent than men and lacking in leadership potential, because of these perceptions, women encounter greater challenges to or skepticism of their ideas and abilities at work. Men and women are correctly predicting the differential experiences that they would encounter with professional advancement and are making sound decisions. It is also possible that women are overestimating the negative consequences associated with power, that men are underestimating them, or both.

COLLEGE CHEATING:
Immaturity, Lack of Commitment,
and the Neutralizing Attitude
Valerie J. Haines, George M. Diekhoff, Emily E. LaBeff,
and Robert E. Clark
Through the use of a 49-item questionnaire administered to 380 university students, we
investigated student cheating on exams, quizzes, and homework assignments. More
than half the students reported cheating during the academic year on at least one of the
above. The purpose of this paper was to uncover fundamental factors underlying cheat-
ing behavior. Through the use of correlational and factor analysis, three primary factors
were identified: student immaturity, lack of commitment to academics, and neutraliza-
tion. We offer interpretations of these factors and suggestions for testing these and other
factors in future research.
Student dishonesty on college campuses throughout the nation has been
widely recognized as epidemic ("Cheating in College," 1976; Wellborn,
1980). Although cheating has been noted by faculty and students alike, its
occurrence does not appear to be on the decline. In fact, there seems to be
general agreement that cheating is endemic to education in the secondary
schools as well as at the college level. Methods of cheating often provide a
study in creativity ranging from the sophisticated distribution of term
papers through so-called paper mills, to devising ways of carrying informa-
tion into the classroom, to the not-so-sophisticated means of looking at
someone else's paper during an exam. Since it is unlikely that those asso-
ciated with academia for any length of time would deny the presence of
student cheating, it is imp.
Perceptions of Tenured and Adjunct Faculty Regarding the Role of the Adjunct ...inventionjournals
This study purpose was to explore the perceptions of adjuncts and tenured faculty about the role of the adjunct in higher education. Through purposeful sampling, the lived experiences of nine adjuncts and nine tenured faculty members were considered from three historically black colleges and universities in the southeastern United States. The Critical Social Theory guided this qualitative phenomenological study as it relates to organizational culture. The Critical Social Theory framework illuminates the perceptions of the more powerful players in an organization and the impact of these perceptions on the workplace culture. Six themes that emerged from the analysis of the data: (a) Professional Development and Support, (b) Increased Collaboration, (c)Standard Recruiting and Retention Practices, (d) Shared Responsibilities, (e) Their Perceived Student Perceptions of Adjuncts and Tenured Faculty in the Classroom, and (f) The Relationship between Adjuncts and their University. These themes gave rise to a general description of the perceptions and the workplace culture. The findings from the study yielded several unexpected outcomes.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to delve into promotional issues of faculty in tertiary institutions using the University
of Ghana, Legon as a case study with a focus on rank at recruitment and current position of faculty. Data were
collected using a combination of structured questionnaires and in-depth interviews among 142 faculty made up
of 33 women and 109 men. The findings of this study indicate that the male faculty were recruited with higher
qualification than their female counterparts and they tend to rise up the academic ladder faster than their female
counterpart. What accounted for these differences are the role mentors have played in their academic careers and
the fact that they have stronger support networks than their female faculty and have had mentors in the beginning
of their professional career through informal mentors who mentored them. The female faculty described
experiences indicating that they were more vulnerable to subtle discrimination practices than male faculty.

1. Introduction
Ghanaian women over the last few decades have attained educational levels comparable to those of men in many
countries. Prah’s (2002) study in University of Cape Coast (UCC) reveals an increase in the enrolment of
females in most faculties in the University of Cape Coast and population of women faculty in the university of
Ghana shows an increase in the number of female faculty. The introduction of affirmation action in the
University of Ghana, Legon has equally seen an increase in female enrolment in majority of the faculties
(Congregation Brochure; March 2006).
In spite of the strides achieved, women in the teaching profession in higher education face similar
obstacles to those in other sectors in terms of academic preparation, training, recruitment, opportunity for
publication, leadership and promotion described in Cann et al, 1991; O’Leary and Mitchell, 1990; Bagilhole,
(1993); Prah (2002), Wirth (2002) and Taylor’s (2003) work.
Prah (2002) study shows that women occupy the bottom of the pyramid, disproportionately occupying
the more junior and less prestigious positions and this is no different from that of University of Ghana and other
institutions of higher education in Ghana. In Ghana, until recently no female (apart from former Vice
Chancellor of UCC) had risen to the Vice Chancellorship position. The average percentage of female academic
staff in the three oldest Ghanaian universities in the 1960s, ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s was 11, 9, 9, and 13 percent
respectively (Prah, 2002).
Studies concerning women in education have focused on teachers at the basic level and tend to look at
their conflicting roles as mothers and workers, without looking at institutional barriers that stifle their progress.
For instance, Prah’s (2002) study was on the visibility of female faculty and administrative staff and the
problems they face in UCC. The study was limited to a sample size of 11 and did not include male faculty even
though it was titled gender issues in higher education. This study therefore augmented Prah’s work by delving
into promotional issues and adopting a gendered analysis to identify what might be described as a “glass ceiling”
by comparing the progress of both women and men in their academic careers.
2. Aim of the study
The aim of this paper is to use a gendered lens to compare the progression of faculty and identify the challenges
both gender go through in pursuit of a career in higher education.
3. Methods
The various Faculties, Schools and Institutes in the University of Ghana were put into clusters, respondents were
chosen from all the clusters, through simple random sampling after stratifying for gender; 20 percent of the
population of faculty was selected based on the proportion of both female and male faculties. The study was
descriptive cross sectional using a mixed method to collect data. Quantitative methods took the form of
administration of questionnaires to 142 faculties; made up of 33 female and 109 male faculties. Analyses of
these were purely descriptive using frequencies. The qualitative method took the form of in-depth interviews
with 10 faculties; five females and five male were purposively selected for the interview. Using content analysis,
themes were developed based on the research questions.

4. Theoretical Framework
This study focuses on data that illustrates women’s involvement in university life. It adapted Joycelin Massiah’s
(1993) gender analysis framework developed as the foundation for establishing indicators for planning for
women in the Caribbean. The framework looks at the visibility of women, since the premise or underpinning is
that women are not visible.Massiah’s analytical framework is based on three assumptions:
1. Women and the roles they play have traditionally been accorded lower status than men. Related to the
assumption is the proposition that women bear an unequal share of social reproduction work in relation
to men; and that productive work in exchange for cash, in which men are involved to a greater extent
than women, is accorded higher status than the social reproductive work of women.
2. Women’s work includes economic and non-economic activities, both of which tend to be downplayed
or ignored. Thus women, their activities, their problems, and their concerns remain largely invisible to
policy-makers, planners, and often, to women themselves.
3. The invisibility of women emanate directly from a gender ideology which adheres to a hierarchical and
asymmetrical division of labour in favour of males which is manifested in various ways and in different
spheres of activity (Massiah 1993 cited in Prah 2002).
These assumptions together produce five interrelated types of visibility, operative at three different
levels, each of which is a precondition for achieving a higher level. Movement from lower to higher levels in not
necessarily unilinear, but the direction of the movement represents a move from recognition of the existence of
gender disadvantage to action designed to reduce or eliminate that disadvantage. The levels of visibility and the
relationships between them are presented in Figure 1:

Level 1: Conceptual and Subjective Visibility
Massiah designated this phase as the first and basic level of visibility and consists of two types of visibility.
According to Massiah, and cited in Prah (2002) conceptual visibility represents the perception of external
observers that a particular sex is subject to gender disadvantage. This is evident in what has come to be accepted
as gender ideology of society, the extent to which that ideology is enunciated and the way in which it operates.
In our Ghanaian society there is a perception out there that women are less superior than man at the work place.
Subjective visibility reflects the recognition by individuals themselves of the effects of gender domination on
their own attitudes, behaviour, material and emotional circumstances. The difference between the two types of
visibility is essentially one of perceptions.
Level 2: Theoretical and Statistical Visibility
The second level Massiah postulates as consisting of theoretical and statistical visibility made possible by the
generation and analysis of quantitative and qualitative data. This level of visibility stems directly from the

Vol.4, No.18, 2014
conceptual visibility of the first level. It makes possible the identification of trends, patterns of gender
domination and explains the mechanisms which perpetuate that domination. The process of understanding how
the gender system operates and what kinds of action may be needed in order to minimize elements of
disadvantage begins here. Findings from study have been brought to bear on this level of visibility.
Level 3: Socio-Economic/Political and Domestic Visibility
The third and final level which consists of two types of visibility has been described by Massiah as the socio-economic/
political and the domestic. According to Massiah and cited in Prah (2002), socio-economic visibility
derives from increasing the power resources of the disadvantaged, from the removal of legal and political
barriers to advancement and from the introduction of social policies designed to create an environment free of
gender domination. This type of visibility flows directly from action at the individual and the household level. It
is reflected in a changing system of gender relations in which male and female roles are structured in a more
egalitarian manner than previously. This is what in academia is described as meritorious environment. This level
of visibility flows directly from the conceptual and subjective and indirectly from the theoretical and statistical.
After the different types and levels of visibility have been identified, the question of distinguishing problems
arises. As Prah (2002) indicates, some groups of women may be readily identified by conventional statistics. But
in the absence of micro-level research, their problems, needs and concerns remain invisible. In effect, a group
may have achieved a limited amount of statistical visibility (Level 2) but without the identification and
articulation of their problems, and the introduction of mechanisms to solve them, the chances of moving up to
Level 3 visibility is slim (Massiah 1993: 29 cited in Prah 2002).
To situate the conceptual framework within the perspective of the study, it has been argue that there
are institutions in Ghana that have tried through some policy direction to bridge the gender differential in
education and that could be classified to some extent as conceptual visibility. The choice of the research topic
and the fact that some of the researched recognize the effects of gender domination in their lives correspond to
subjective visibility. This study identifies the relationship between the statistical visibility and trends of gender
domination at University of Ghana, Legon through an examination and interpretation of relevant statistics (Level
2) in presenting the problems and concerns of women and men academics.
5. Presentations of Findings
This paper looks at institutional barriers in the context of promotion and leadership roles of faculty of the
University of Ghana, Legon. The proceeding sections discuss the findings of the research.
5.1 Qualification at recruitment
In academia, recruitment is based on merit and universities look out for potential faculty who are poised for
academic excellence and ready for the rigorous nature of academic life. To understand the way faculties have
progressed over the period, the study sought to find out the qualification at recruitment. Of the 33 female faculty
members, 33.3 percent were 4MA/LLM/MBA/MFA/MSC holders as at the time of recruitment as compared to
20.1 percent male faculty; The degree held by faculty members peaks at M.Phil for both gender; female faculty
were 42.4 percent as compared to 40.4 percent of their male counterpart. Respondents with the highest degree at
recruitment which is PhD, PhD with MD and MPH was the next highest frequency for both gender; female
faculty members with PhD and male faculty members with the same qualification were 21.3 and 38.5 percent
respectively, an indication that there are more qualified male than there are female faculty members. A typical
reflection of what prevails in Ghanaian higher institutions. Table 1 depicts the data of qualification at recruitment.

5.1.1 Highest Degree of respondents
Data on this was collected to compare and contrast how both gender have progressed since being recruited in the
university. The highest degree of respondents is indicated in Table 1, female faculty represents the highest
percentage in the lower degrees, except in MD/MPH/PhD where female faculty accounts for 15.0 percent.
Female faculty who held MA/LLM/MSC/MBA/MFA/MD/MPH at the time of recruitment was 33.3 percent and
currently stands at 15 percent, whilst male faculty accounted for 20.1 percent and currently stands at 5.5 percent.
This shows that there has been improvement in the qualification as at the time they were recruited and the time
of the study. Table 1 clearly depicts a remarkable improvement in the qualification of faculty members.
Progression of faculty suggests that comparatively male faculty have improved upon their degrees
hence the highest degree of male faculty members over the years. What account for more male faculty pursuing
higher degree compared to the female faculty was captured in the interview with faculty. Some male faculty
opined that there are equal opportunities opened to both genders. Female faculty however, were of the view that
the situation in which they find themselves does not easily make it possible to take up certain challenges. This is
what a female faculty had to say with respect to getting funding for further education:
“it is not easy getting funding for PhD, you need to be highly connected and especially when you have
senior members as mentors.”
They claimed that lack of mentors and related issues limit access and sometimes pose as a big huddle to
their advancement. On the other hand, some women in spite of the challenges have been able to break through
the ‘glass ceiling’ with the support of spouses and family members.
5.2 Promotion Issues
Promotion is the recognition of one's work through the tangible reward of moving from a lower position/rank to
a higher position/rank. One of the issues as far as the glass ceiling is concerned is the lack of promotion of
female workers in organizations that would propel them into leadership positions. Academic career demands that
faculty members produce a certain number of scientific publications and within a specific number of years
before one is qualified for promotion. Female faculty who indicated that they had been promoted before was
46.7 percent, whilst 42.7 percent male faculty said that they had ever been promoted. Even though more female
than male faculty in the sample said they had been promoted, it does not seem to make them as visible as their
5. Research on Humanities and Social Sciences www.iiste.org

Vol.4, No.18, 2014
male counterparts. Again, an indication that even though male faculty fall within the category with the highest
number of scientific publication, not all of them are interested in promotions as asserted by some of them during
the interviews.
5.2.1 Rank at recruitment and Current rank
To situate the problem of progression of both genders it was important to look at how far both genders have
progressed in terms of promotion and what precipitated it. Again, Table 1 gives indicate the responses. At the
time of their recruitment female faculty who were tutors and assistant lecturers accounted for about 21 percent
and the current rank indicate that just like there has been improvement in the qualification, there is also an
improvement in the rank, currently at 9.1 percent and 3.7 percent for male faculty, in deed, a remarkably vertical
improvement. The highest rank peaks at lectureship and senior lectureship positions. What account for this
progression has been publishing papers – there is a saying in academic that ‘if you don’t publish, you perish’,
hence the need to publish to be promoted.
5.2.2 Number of years spent on current rank
On the issue of number of years spent on current rank, about 61 percent female faculty had spent between one
and four years; 28.6 percent had spent between five and nine years on their current rank and 10.7 percent had
spent ten and more years on their current rank. On the other hand, 40.6 percent of male faculty had spent
between one and four years on their current rank, 41.6 percent had spent between five and nines year, 17.8
percent had spent between ten and more years on their current rank. In general, length of time spent on a
particular rank depends on the individual faculty. However, all male faculty interviewed said even though they
were qualified for promotion, they were pre-occupied with other things they considered more important than
applying for promotion. On the other hand, some female faculty interviewed complained that they have had to
stay long on their current rank because processes for promotion were too long, apart from the long processing of
documents, they thought it was a deliberate attempt to stifle their effort. Another female faculty said she has had
to spend so long a time because it was difficult getting researchable topics in her field of study. One of the
typical examples of challenges faced by female faculty in higher education.

Among the female respondents who have ever been promoted, 23.1 percent worked for between two
and fours years before being promoted as against 27.9 percent male respondents for the same number of years. In
this situation, if they were using scientific publications as a yardstick for promotion then more male than female
would be promoted since they produce more scientific publications. The number of years worked before first
promotion peaks between five and seven years for both female and male respondents; 38.5 and 53.5 respectively.
The qualitative data presents a different twist to the promotion issue. At the global level, personal advancement
does not seem to be a crucial motivation for men. It played an important or very important role in the decision of
only 15.5% of men and 20.3% of women. According to Latour and Portet (2003) women tend to see a better
possibility for personal advancement in a career in academia than men. Indeed, female faculty complained of

Vol.4, No.18, 2014
some undermining with regard to promotion in their department, whilst male faculty who have not been
promoted even though they were due for promotion said they did not see it as a priority.
According to the Statutes of the University of Ghana (August 2004), promotion of faculty is based not
only on the number of scholarly work as exemplified through research or contribution to knowledge through
scientific publication but on teaching and extension work or service. Female faculty heavy responsibilities in the
public and private spheres put a heavy burden on them and so they are unable to produce the kind of publications
as male faculty. This was emphasised by a female faculty who intimated during an interview that combining all
three roles makes it difficult for her to produce research work like that of her male colleagues. Her seven years in
academia has yielded one paper which is under review whilst another male with that same length of time has
produced several research works. On the contrary the quantitative data reported more female faculty (64.3%)
being promoted based on research and teaching as compared to 61.4 percent of male faculty. However, 29.5
percent male faculty were promoted based on research/publications only, as compared to 14.3 percent of female
faculty. Data from the survey also indicated that male faculty have produced more scientific work than their
female faculty (from peer reviewed papers Male faculty; (77.1%) female faculty; (60.6%); books; men - 36.7%);
women – (27.3%); to chapters; men – 40.4%; women – 21.1%). This is a confirmation of Sonnert (1995), whose
study found that men in academia produce on average 0.5 more scientific publications than women per year. The
qualitative data also confirms some discriminatory practices in some departments concerning promotion. A
female faculty whose promotion was due since 2003 at the time of the study was yet to be promoted, even
though other male colleagues have had their promotion. To conclude, the processes for promotion in the
university are somehow different for both gender. Whilst some male faculty who are qualified for promotion are
reluctant to apply, female faculty who applied long ago have not been given hearing. The study found some form
of subtle discrimination against some female faculty. The study delve into the level of institutional financial
support given to faculty for research – whether there is equality in allocation of resource for both genders. Both
gender were highly dissatisfied with support they get from the university. The interviews revealed that male
faculty got funding through networks whilst female faculty said they solely fund their research projects and are
less likely to get funding from the university. For release time offered by the University for Research, 45.4
percent female faculty said that they were dissatisfied as compared to 44 percent of male faculty. About 49
percent female faculty remained neutral as compared to 44 percent male faculty. Only 6.1 percent female faculty
said that they were satisfied as compared to 11.9 percent male faculty. Respondents view on release time for
research offered by the University: For opportunities to publish in the university, 27.3 female faculty were
dissatisfied as compared to 40.3 percent male faculty. About 51 percent female faculty remained neutral as
compared to 26.6 percent male faculty, whilst 21.1 were satisfied as compared to 33 percent male faculty.
5.3 Leadership Issue
On the issue of leadership in tertiary institutions, a look at the academic scene indicates that women are not
visible when it comes to leadership positions. There is also a stereotypical perception that female workers are
not committed to taking up additional responsibility because of their commitment at home especially for working
mothers. However, faculty members interviewed see the importance of having leadership positions. More
female faculty than male faculty said that they deemed it very important having a departmental/college
leadership positions; 51.5 percent as compared to 38.5 for male faculty. When asked whether both gender were
willing to take on time consuming tasks 39.4 percent of female faculty as compared to 41.2 percent of male
faculty said that they were willing, an indication that women social responsibilities hamper their ability to
participate in other time consuming tasks in the university. Indeed, the interviews revealed that female faculty
were prepared to take on leadership positions and the challenges that come with it; while male faculty feel that
they were too busy with research to add such responsibilities.
The interviews found out that only heads of department constitute most ‘powerful’ boards and since
majority of heads of department are male faculty they constitute the powerful boards such as the Academic
Board. Thus it corroborates the quantitative findings presented in Table 3. Serving on committees are means to
getting promoted since that is also deemed service or extension work – and constitute points when assessing
faculty for promotion. Table 3 shows respondents who have or were serving of boards at the time of the survey.

Table 3 indicates that women faculty had made substantial gains in terms of their representation in leadership
positions, looking at their small population. However, when asked whether they had been undermined in any
leadership positions, more female faculty reported being undermined (50.0 percent) as compared to (12.5 percent)
male faculty. The interviews confirmed the quantitative findings by female faculty being undermined in
leadership positions. In fact not only were they undermined, they were made to feel that being a woman is
synonymous to being inferior and therefore one cannot express one’s mind on issues.
5.4 Discussions
This article has been able to delve into some gender inequality in academic, which is hardly discussed publicly.
It has been able to confirm Massiah’s conceptual framework which has been used extensively in Prah’s work,
and used to situate the study. This findings also support Larwood and Gutek (1987) assertion that women’s
career development does not simply lag behind that of men, but it proceeds in a completely different manner.
Again, the findings support Mavin (2001) study which also stipulates that career of women has been traditionally
understood as “an ordered sequence of development extending over a period of years and the introduction of
progressively more responsible roles within an occupation”. Underlying this definition is the assumption of
linear upward progression for which both gender have demonstrated. However, this definition does not fit in the
career development of most women as they confront the glass ceiling; especially for those women who felt their
efforts have been thwarted in a bid to seeking promotion. As far as professional career is concerned, both female
and male faculty are interested in seeing their academic career move on to a higher level. In the mist of the
challenges, female faculty are visible and tend to move from what Massiah describes as conceptual and
subjectivity visibility to the level 3 visibility which talks of socio-economic and political visibility, in fact
women are able to balance both private and public spheres perfectly. The study also supports the findings of
O'Leary and Mitchell (1990) who opined that there are still far too few women in the academic profession at all
levels. With regards to the number of publication, the findings supports Several United States of American
studies which have shown that, overall, women scientists publish less than men (Bielby, 1991; Cole & Singer,
1991; Cole & Zuckerman, 1991; Primack & O’Leary, 1993; Sonnert, I995; Zuckerman, 1991). Female
respondents were of the view that the university as an institution is so masculine in its structures because when
the colonial masters established it they did not have the female faculty in mind. Female faculty need to be
exceptionally visible in all spheres to receive the same recognition and acknowledgement as their male
counterparts. This study found out that are more females who were/are willing and actually taken up leadership
positions, this is in contrast to Bagihole (1993) findings which indicates that women are not visible in leadership
positions
5.5 Conclusion
Findings from the study suggest that there are no overt institutional barriers to the advancement of women in the
University of Ghana, but there exist some sort of subtle discrimination against women. This is because there are
equal access to facilities and recruitment, but those who wield power are predominantly male and they continue
to reproduce their kind, leading to more men in the helm of affairs.
