Gender Dynamics in Campus Conflicts

Recent events involving female university presidents being targeted for federal discrimination complaints and congressional hearings have raised concerns about a potential pattern of attacks on women leaders in academia. The majority of discrimination complaints were against universities led by women, despite only 30 percent of colleges and universities nationwide having female presidents. The recent summoning of four women presidents by Congress, under threat of subpoena, has sparked questions about the underlying agenda and potential gender bias in these actions.
