According to recent ACE presidential survey data, women now constitute 33% of university presidencies, yet a troubling pattern has emerged: these leaders are often appointed during times of institutional crisis, creating what researchers call "the glass cliff" phenomenon. In this episode of Changing Higher Ed®, Dr. Lori Varlotta, former president of Hiram College and California Lutheran University and current Distinguished Professor of Higher Education Leadership at Cal Lutheran, shares insights from her research on the glass cliff phenomenon in higher education. Drawing from her first research sabbatical in 40 years, she explores how women presidents are often hired during periods of institutional vulnerability and what can be done to ensure their success. The glass cliff differs significantly from the well-known glass ceiling concept. While the glass ceiling refers to invisible barriers preventing women from reaching top leadership positions, the glass cliff describes a phenomenon where women are specifically recruited for leadership roles during times of institutional crisis or vulnerability. In higher education, this vulnerability typically manifests as enrollment declines, decreasing net tuition revenue, grant funding challenges, or cultural crises. Dr. Varlotta's research reveals that women presidents face unique obstacles when leading institutional turnarounds, often facing implicit bias, gender-based generalizations about their performance, and disproportionate scrutiny of their appearance and leadership style through gender-charged reporting. Key Takeaways for Prospective University Presidents and Boards 1. Due Diligence: Carefully assess whether the campus truly wants the bold, transparent leadership they claim to seek during the hiring process. Engage in extensive conversations with the board to ensure alignment between stated goals and actual support. 2. Resource Commitment: Secure essential resources before accepting the position, including PR support, crisis communication expertise, and a dedicated board committee willing to serve as change management partners. 3. Gender-Charged Reporting: Be prepared for heightened scrutiny of appearance, mannerisms, and communication style. As highlighted in the research, women leaders often face disproportionate attention to non-performance factors compared to their male counterparts. As higher education faces continuing challenges, understanding and addressing the glass cliff phenomenon becomes increasingly essential for institutional success. Dr. Varlotta's research highlights the importance of careful preparation, adequate support systems, and recognition of the unique challenges faced by women leaders in academic turnaround situations. Read the transcript on our website: https://changinghighered.com/the-glass-cliff-in-higher-education-challenges-faced-by-women-university-presidents/ #GlassCliff #UniversityGovernance #HigherEdLeadership About Our Podcast Guest For four decades, Lori Varlotta, Ph.D., has held leadership positions at universities large and small, public and private, faith-based and secular, stand-alone and system-embedded. For 20+ years, she has served at the executive level: Senior VP at Sacramento State and President at Hiram College (OH) and California Lutheran University. In both presidencies, Varlotta was the first woman at the institution to hold the post. At each, she was recruited to lead systemic changes to reposition the institution for the future. Along with the turnaround and repositioning work for which she is known, Varlotta contributes routinely to national conversations and publications on student success, systemic change, integrated planning and budgeting, curricular and co-curricular prioritization, shared governance, and DEIJ. As a first-generation college student, she is grateful for the educational opportunities she has experienced. She credits her blue-collar family and community, however, for teaching her life's most important lessons.

Show Notes The time that K-12 students spend with teachers is formative. It's important. Some might say that a teacher can make or break a kid, especially kids from marginalized communities. There are systems in place to educate and evaluate teachers on best practices in the classroom—but are we doing enough to make sure teacher training is equitable and culturally sensitive? On this episode on RadioEd, Emma speaks with María del Carmen Salazar, associate dean of the University of Denver's Morgridge College of Education, about her work with culturally responsive teacher evaluation. María del Carmen Salazar is associate dean for faculty affairs and DEIJ as well as a professor of curriculum & instruction and teacher education in the Morgridge College of Education at the University of Denver. Salazar has authored 38 publications and given 155 scholarly local, national, and international presentations on a humanizing pedagogy, equitable teaching and culturally responsive teacher evaluation, and college access and success for Latinx youth. She is the author of “Teacher Evaluation as Culture: A Framework for Equitable and Excellent Teaching.” Salazar published a seminal article reframing Paulo Freire's conceptualization of humanizing pedagogy. She is the lead author on a research study detailing Community Views on Quality and Equity in Education. Dr. Salazar is the lead author on a briefing to the U.S. Congress related to the state of the Latinx community in the U.S. In 2018, she was the recipient of the American Educational Research Association (AERA) Innovations in Research on Equity and Social Justice in Teacher Education Award.

Ashlie Randolph and Tre Watts Run an amazing organization called Lifting Lucy, which is "dedicated to creating a future where the hospitality sector, particularly the craft brewing industry, not only reflects the diversity of our communities, but actively contributes to the empowerment and sustainable success of women of color at every level of the professional hierarchy."

Welcome back to another episode of "What's on Your Mind," where we delve into your most pressing DEJI questions. In this week's episode, we discussMoving beyond performative DEIJDoing your own inner work - why as a leader you must to do you own work to effectively create change in your organization Why it's no longer acceptable (not that it ever was) to rely on employees to do the work of DEIJ Leaders need to embark on their own DEI learning journey. It is not your ERG's responsibility to lead DEIJ within your organization. Don't ask employees to commit time, expertise, and passion for free, it is essential to provide compensation. If budgets are limited, organizations can offer learning opportunities or professional development to demonstrate their commitment. By allocating monetary resources to DEI, organizations align their actions with their values, demonstrating that DEI is not merely lip service.I want to hear from you. What are you doing in your organizations? What's working?. Please feel free to reach out with any questions, feedback, or success stories at info@restartconsult.com.Additionally, I invite you to join the upcoming DEI Deep Dive by signing up at restartconsulting.com/dei-deep-dive.

Whether we like it or not, in today's current climate conversations about DEIJ can be polarizing. What if you had a framework to navigate those conversations? In this week's episode with Dr. Ahmmad Brown (more about him below), we delve into:Effective strategies for communicating about DEIJ that help with “diversity fatigue” and encourages leaders to engage in conversation. The Intergroup Dialouge framework arose from academics but can be a powerful framework for communication. Bonus…we also share excellent research and resources in the show notes. The power of communication to foster sustainability in inclusion and anti-racism Dr. Ahmmad Brow is a scholar-practitioner. Dr. Brown holds a Ph.D. in organizational behavior from Harvard University, and an M.B.A. and M.A. in Education from Stanford University. He is an assistant professor at Northwestern School of Education and Social Policy, faculty lead for the Leading Equity & Inclusion ( LEIO) certificate program, and president/co-founder of EquityBased Dialogue for Inclusion (EBDI).As Ahmmad shares, “We are co-creating our workspace, culture, and potentially societal structures. This is a very abstract, high-level vision and what I've learned is many organizations aren't ready.” Tune in and share what's working and how you're navigating DEIJ conversations in your organization.

He said that when people ask me (him) what art is about, I (he) say its giving structure to feelings. Also this notion that we can give meaning to something without it being a singular narrative. Something can have an individualized meaning.

"I had never seen anything like Forsythe's Choreography for Step Text, and I thought, “This is possible?”...The articulation, the structures, the musicality, and the curtain coming in and out was just radical and amazing. I just wanted to be a part of it. If you remain curious just about anything as an artist, you can make it compelling...it reminds me of what a beautiful visual artist, Jack Whitten, talks about. He said that when people ask me (him) what art is about, I (he) say its giving structure to feelings. Also this notion that we can give meaning to something without it being a singular narrative. Something can have an individualized meaning. If it is meaningful in the conveyance of the dancer, everyone seeing that dancer or the group of dancers performing will receive something different that resonates with them in their life."Jill Johnson is an internationally renowned dancer, choreographer, artistic director, educator, producer, stager, movement consultant, and advisor.
