Women are underrepresented among North Dakota State University’s tenured faculty and administrators, and top university officials are trying to determine how to address the disparity.
NDSU has no female vice presidents. Of the seven academic deans, one is a woman. The low representation of women stands in contrast to other statistics. NDSU research shows the university promotes women and men at the same rate and pays them the same wage.
NDSU President Joseph Chapman testified to the Legislature this session that recruiting and retaining women faculty is a priority for the university. With Chapman’s support, NDSU faculty will soon have expanded day-care facilities on campus for children of faculty.
It's a long article and also discusses barriers as well as an AAUW study on women in education. I'd encourage you to read the rest of the article. Glad to see that NDSU is trying to take some action and discuss the problem.
