Annette W. Rusher – författare

The number of African-American women administrators in higher education is not impressive. Although several institutions have implemented aggressive recruitment programs to attract and retain minorities, their efforts have not resulted in significant increases in African- American women administrators. In this ground-breaking work, Annette Rusher explores the recruitment, retention and promotion of 154 African-American women administrators (with and without tenure) in higher education. These women are presently in positions of dean or higher ranking positions. This descriptive and exploratory study contains information on the professional, educational, and family situations of these women. The research reported in this book can be used to guide future researchers in studying the employment, retention, and promotion of African-American women administrators. This book will appeal to students, faculty, and staff in higher education; professional organizations focusing on education; historical black organizations and women clubs.
