Claremont McKenna College President Pamela Gann is among the female college leaders referenced in the Oct. 6 Forbes.com feature article, Women College President's Tough Test. (Full story: http://www.forbes.com/2009/10/06/female-college-presidents-forbes-woman-power-women-tenure.html.)
Examining the dearth of female college presidents, the article reports that just 23 percent of colleges are led by women (a percentage tracked by the American Council on Education), despite the fact that 75 percent of U.S. school teachers (not counting professors) are female.
An accompanying sidebar goes on to say that of the Forbes America's 50 Best Colleges, 15 are led by women, with President Gann among them: http://www.forbes.com/2009/10/06/female-college-presidents-forbes-woman-power-women-harvard-princeton_slide_9.html.
