Institutional Policies and Gender Equity: The Role of Universities in Encouraging or Discouraging Women Leaders
Abstract
This chapter examines the critical role of institutional policies in shaping gender equity within universities and their impact on women's leadership. It explores the evolution of gender equity initiatives, analysing policies on recruitment, promotion, work-life balance, and safe work environments. Barriers such as unconscious bias, gender stereotypes, and the glass ceiling are discussed, alongside leadership development programs that support women in academia. Case studies from leading institutions and comparative analyses provide insights into best practices, while intersectional perspectives highlight the experiences of marginalized women. The chapter concludes with recommendations for policy reform and future strategies to promote gender equity and leadership opportunities for women in higher education.
