The foundation for the quantitative data shown in this report was provided by Lou McClelland, Director of Institutional Analysis in the Office of Planning, Budget, and Analysis (PBA). Data in the appendices are available on PBA's web site, http://www.colorado.edu/pba. This quantitative data, and the qualitative data of the focus groups, are the basis for the analysis and conclusions of this report.

The data on which the report is based indicate that women on campus face continued inequality in their jobs and careers. Despite some improvements, women are still underrepresented in positions of power, and feel deprived of voice and opportunity. Key findings of the report include:

• Job segregation continues to exist at CU-Boulder. The people making policy decisions and earning the highest salaries are predominantly male, including the faculty. Women are primarily in support positions, have less opportunity for promotions, and earn, for the most part, lower salaries than men. The more authority associated with a position, e.g., committees, budgets, hiring decisions, the less likely a woman will be found in the position.

  I think one point that maybe is at least indisputable in our department, ... certainly the people who are at a high level, in [the department] anyway, are all men. So if there are issues, gender issues that come up, there isn't a woman's voice in there. (Faculty Member)*

• Undergraduate and graduate students are predominantly male (48% female, 52% female). Nationwide, women comprise the majority of undergraduate students. Nationwide, as at CU-Boulder, natural science and engineering tracks are predominantly male.

• Except in salary, the above findings are even more acute for women of color.

  [Referring to a friend] and I knew what she was thinking. She is Latina. And when she joined the faculty here, to the extent that she's been able to join, ... somebody who was also a Latina, a more senior faculty person said, "You know, you're going to give up your interests and find the interests of the mainstream and get yourself heard." And it really hurt her, you know. "What's wrong with my interests?" (Student)
