Describe how gender contributes to how women faculty members are expected to serve the universities for which they work.

What will be an ideal response?


ANS: Because there are fewer women and minority faculty members at most universities, these faculty are frequently expected to take on excessive responsibilities for service and mentoring. University committees are expected to be diverse and so women and minorities are asked to serve on committees more frequently than white men. Women also tend to take on more advisory roles with students than men and provide more service.
