Provost Shulenburger cites need to broaden the female pool and targeted advertising. KU's Ann Cudd cites family pressures delaying research and tenure, with faculty like Maria Drive balancing tenure review and a young child. Olive urges a consistent maternity leave policy to attract women, as KU follows federal guidelines.
