摘要:Despite expanding opportunities and substantial financial incentives, women are significantly under- represented in both the academic and professional environments of the information sciences. Furthermore, there is much evidence that women experience a cumulative disadvantage, in computer terms, that begins early in life in the grade schools and continues through the college and corporate experience. A qualitative survey–based approach was conducted in the study of 111 regional corporations. It focuses on the ongoing strategies employed for the integration and retention of women in the computer information systems discipline at Robert Morris University, with an outlook and survey of the corporate computing environment of Pittsburgh and Southwestern Pennsylvania, and the gender effects of a decline in the occupational and educational dimensions of the discipline in the early years of the 21st Century.
