The objective of this study was to identify if women have made statistically significant increases as top-level administrators in institutions of higher education during the period 1983-98. The research focused on the following areas: (1) Have women made significant increases as administrators during 1983-98? (2) Have women made significant increases in their proportion of total administrators during 1983-98 in the following areas: (a) comprehensive institutions, (b) doctoral institutions, (c) liberal arts institutions, and (d) research institutions? (3) Has the proportion of women administrators in private institutions increased significantly more than the proportion of women administrators in public institutions for 1983-98?

The main purpose of this study was to develop a demographic/financial profile of retired Oregon public school administrators and to determine the relationship between these profile factors and the degree to which financial needs are met, the level of perceived financial satisfaction, and the level of perceived life satisfaction. Another purpose was to define those financial issues which impact the retired administrator and would be helpful in developing guidelines useful for pre-retirement planning and education. The subjects selected for the study were the 295 retired Oregon public school administrators known to the Confederation of Oregon School Administrators who had retired prior to September 1984. Thirty-two questions were asked in an attempt to gather data regarding three major areas: biographical information, financial information, and perceptions of financial/life satisfaction. A total of 198 or 67% of the retired administrators surveyed returned a completed survey instrument. Based upon the results, a demographic/financial profile evolved for the sample population. Moreover, a significant relationship was found to exist between sex, health rating, the ability to keep pace with inflation and the degree to which financial needs are met. Sex, health rating, the level of pre-retirement income, the ability to keep pace with inflation and the point at which retirement planning began were found to relate significantly with the perception of financial satisfaction. A significant relationship was also found to exist between health rating, the level of pre-retirement income, the ability to keep pace with inflation and the perception of life satisfaction. The degree to which financial needs are met related significantly with the perception of financial satisfaction and perception of life satisfaction. Finally, a significant relationship was also found to exist between the perception of financial satisfaction and the perception of life satisfaction.

The specific purposes of this study may be briefly stated as follows: (1) to determine the present status of administrative certification in the United States; (2) to determine whether the various states have set up requirements which will insure that their public schools shall have administrators who are capable of directing and supervising the educational program; (3) to indicate the degree of uniformity of requirements in the various states; (4) to secure recommendations for the certification of public school administrators from leading educators in the United States; and, on the basis of such data, (5) to make certain recommendations for a sound administrative certification program.

To examine the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and other jurisdictions concerning education through the wording of the statutes and through a study of any factors of common law and/or appellate court decisions which might have an effect upon the interpretation of the statute and/or common law in Massachusetts. B. To synthesize these statutory and/or common law rights or duties, illustrated by court decisions, into a work which will assist school committees and their employees to make on-the-job decisions concerning matters which arise in the course of their daily work and which carry such immediate urgency that they cannot be referred to a legal advisor for an opinion.
