Factors Associated with a Higher Probability that a. Woman Will Be Offered a Position

The department typically decides who will receive an offer. Thus, the statisti­cal analysis of offers made focused on departmental and institutional variables. Most of the factors included in the applicant and interview models are also used here: discipline; departmental climate, as measured by female faculty, female faculty on the search committee and family-friendly policies; public versus private universities; prestige; and intervention by a dean in the selection process. For availability, the model for offers uses the percentage of interviewees who were women—the dependent variable from the last model. It is assumed that there is a positive relationship between the percentage of interviews of women and the likelihood a woman will be offered the position.
