| Higher education in South Africa is undergoing significant transformation within a policy environment supportive of both gender and racial equity. A detailed study of different aspects of gender equity in a historically white, advantaged institution highlights some of the remaining challenges. This article presents a study of these challenges. One component of the study looked at women students entering the Engineering Faculty, the faculty with the lowest proportion of women students, and identified key success factors which have increased this proportion over the years. Whilst transformation of the student body has been relatively successful, there has been less success in transforming the gender (and racial) composition of the staff, despite a favourable institutional policy environment. A second component of the study explored initiatives aimed at achieving greater gender equity among staff and found that little effort is put into providing any developmental programmes that might affect a change in the gender climate. | |
