A global movement that brings together women academics to connect on issues that matter
We champion women leaders in

Covid-19 has the potential to eliminate the progress made for gender equity in business school leadership.
Women leaders in business schools, but they still lag considerably behind their peers with similar qualifications and experience. In the annual salary compensation and survey conducted by AACSB of over 400 business schools, women comprised only one out of four Deans, one out of three Associate Deans, and slightly more than one out of 5 Department Chairs. Women across all ranks still only earn 87¢ to the US$1 dollar earned by men.
