Promotion of Shirley Clark reflects progress for women
Editorial notes Shirley Clark's appointment as temporary assistant vice president for academic administration at the University of Minnesota, the first woman administrator there, and praises Hanna Holborn Gray named provost at Yale. It argues tokenism may accompany such titles, cites rising female faculty numbers at lesser schools, and cites the National Academy of Science finding women with doctorates equal or higher in ability. It ends with optimism for more female leaders and improved universities.
