Book excerpt: Data outlines the significant underrepresentation of women in senior-level leadership positions compared to males, specifically within the Council for Christian Colleges and University (CCCU) institutional environment. Due to the scarce amount of research of women who currently reside in senior-level leadership positions at Council for Christian Colleges and Universities, this qualitative research study examined the barriers women faced and strategies they employed to overcome the barriers to achieving senior-level leadership roles within CCCU member institutions. The study was guided by one central, overarching research question: How do senior-level women leaders navigate leadership advancement within CCCU institutions? The study utilized the theoretical frameworks of the sex-role stereotype theory and role congruity model to provide foundational theoretical knowledge with the study phenomenon explored in further detail through three additional research questions. A sample of 15 current senior-level women leaders from multiple CCCU institutions spanning across the United States was interviewed through a semistructured approach to explore their lived leadership experiences and perspectives. As a result of the research, 11 common themes were established: (a) Christian upbringing, (b) leadership development, (c) leadership opportunities, (d) woman catalysts, (e) stereotypes, (f) traditional institutional barriers, (g) hierarchal disconnect, (h) women’s representation, (i) a lack of support or mentorship, (j) employee first/ relational leadership, and (k) critical leadership characteristics.

This book was released on 2016-08-17 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, women are assuming greater roles within the workplace and men are assuming greater roles within the home. Both spheres have to be seen as a place where males and females are competent. Gersick suggests that women have to let go of the traditional identities related to social role, family, and work. Both men and women have to step into new identities and develop new roles. Will the home look different and the workplace be a different environment? Absolutely, men will do their work in their way within the family and home, while women will clarify their identity within the workplace. Helgessen and Johnson (2010) describe the “female vision” which views the world differently than men. Women also bring a unique perspective to the workplace. This book encourages us to explore, embrace and celebrate these new identities within the workplace and the family.

Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: In a vast majority of professional venues including government, business and higher education, men and women are not equally present in the upper echelon administration. Historically, higher education institutions that are associated with the Churches of Christ have, at the president's cabinet level, had very minimal female representation. Faith-based institutions and those connected to the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities have experienced similar inequities though seemingly not as restrictive as that of Churches of Christ institutions. Very little research has been done specifically regarding this misrepresentation in upper administration in Churches of Christ colleges and universities, This study indicates the perspective of 26 administrators and seeks to ascertain the issues and concerns pertaining to female representation in faith-based higher education administration. Through a qualitative study based on grounded theory, interviews were conducted with 19 female administrators, 1 female president, and 6 male presidents at a variety of faith-based colleges and universities nationwide. Though a plethora of potential points were made regarding the disproportion of females in faith-based higher education administration. the disparity of female mentors was identified as one of the primary reasons women do not attain to many of the executive levels posts in these institutions. Findings indicate that additional research pertaining specifically to Church of Christ institutions needs to be conducted regarding the lack of female representation in the president's cabinet, which is potentially connected to the churches patriarchal stance. This paper makes recommendations based on a variety of areas addressed in the study to allow more women to seek presidential cabinet positions as well as be recognized by Boards of Trustees as capable of fulfilling these posts

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Re-Imagining Christian Higher Education takes a fresh and critical look at the challenges facing Christian colleges and universities and provides concrete recommendations for university leaders, faculty, and staff to implement in their daily work. Chapters in this book address leadership and diversity challenges, issues of affordability and sustainability, and ways of maintaining the distinguishing features of a Christ-centered liberal arts education. A vivid and compelling picture of the Christian university of the future is painted by these authors as they highlight the importance of embracing our Christian identity while being willing to engage a pluralistic and fragmented world. Firmly rooted in a missional identity of faithful learning that is committed to the intellectual, personal, and spiritual development of our students, Christian colleges and universities are encouraged to reclaim and revitalize the breadth and depth of the Christian tradition in order to move forward. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Christian Higher Education.
Download or read book CHRISTIAN HIGHER EDUCATION written by Christopher Toote and published by eBookIt.com. This book was released on 2022 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History recounts that the least memorable period for Christian higher education had been from 1920 to 1960 when numerous church-affiliated institutions followed the state universities and elite private institutions in the movement toward secularization. Research indicates that significant numbers of colleges begin with a Christ-centered mission but change their original intent to quasi-secularization or secularization. This book examines the mission of Christian colleges in an effort to understand the shift from Christian to secularized foundation by exploring participants from the founding membership colleges of the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) and ten other colleges or universities that were once Christ-centered and are now secularized. The author used a qualitative research approach to examine the mission statements of Christian colleges by exploring participants from the founding membership colleges of the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) and ten other colleges and universities that have shifted to secularization. The objective was to discover why Christian colleges changed their Christian mission to secularization and determine the necessary components for Christian colleges to remain true to the original intent of their establishment. This is a fundamentally sound, reliable, historical resource.
