The persistent barriers to women's educational equity in educational administration may be eliminated through this project, which describes the development of an instrument for department self-assessment of sex equity and a model for institutional change. The procedures for developing, testing, and disseminating the instrument for self-assessment of sex equity are provided in detail. A set of standards, grouped by major area of activity, is presented that will ensure that women receive equitable experiences during their graduate studies. Strategies for change are described in the final chapter. Appended are 22 references; a bibliography; interview questions for use in cases of perceived bias or discrimination in departmental conditions, policies, and practices; and a list of University Council for Educational Administration member universities.
