Abstract: It was the purpose of this study, conducted at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro during the Spring and Summer of 1979, to identify the major variables believed to be instrumental in influencing the positions, academic ranks and salaries of women administrators in North Carolina colleges and universities. The variables found to be influential included their (a) professional work experience backgrounds, (b) duties of the positions, (c) biographical backgrounds, (d) educational backgrounds, and (e) attitudes toward the American sex culture as they relate to prevailing stereotypic beliefs about woman's place in the society. The subjects were three hundred forty-three women administrators employed in forty-five North Carolina four-year colleges and universities, above the hierarchical level of department chairperson. The data were secured via a specially designed information request mailed to the subjects and from informal personal interviews. For one computation, the respondents were grouped into two position categories which placed presidents, their assistants and deans in one category and grouped directors and others in a second category. The second computation identified the respondents according to academic ranks, and the third computation categorized the respondents into two salary levels. The types of analyses utilized were frequency distributions and Chi Square.
