This paper examines various career paths leading to deanship and considers the implications of the findings for women and minorities who aspire to this position. The paper is part of a larger study of academic deanship conducted by the Center for Academic Leadership at Washington State University between October 1996 and January 1997. Data for the study were gathered by a questionnaire sent to 1,370 deans (response rate 60 percent) at 360 public and private institutions; 41 percent of the respondents were women. Sections of this report examine the general profile of female, male, and minority-status deans; of deans by institution type and by discipline; and significant differences between male and female deans, between minority and non-minority deans, and of deans by institution type and discipline. Findings indicate that women and minorities remain underrepresented in deanships; noting that female representation in this study is skewed because half of the respondents were deans of nursing colleges. It was also found that deans do not follow a set career trajectory, and that most groups of deans did not see their position as a natural stepping stone to the provost position (more than 25 percent planned to return to faculty positions). Eight data tables are appended. (Contains 24 references.) (CH)
