One quick observation is that out of eight house presidents currently only one is a women (and that one comes from Strong House). That over the last three years of the 26 house presidents only 6 have been female (and again three of those are built into the system because of Strong). --Mary Catherine Halfpenny 09 (Strong House President 08-09)
We are not a girl's school any more. The time has long-since come for a strong male presence at Vassar. Even by your own stats, women are very well represented on the VSA exec board. Why do they have to be president too? They were president until 1969. It's time to change Vassar's image to be strong and male.
Considering there are more women than men at Vassar and considering our history as an all women's school, one would assume that representation WOULD be more evenly distributed among sexes--at least equally distributed. We are not a women's school anymore, but that does not mean that we are a man's school. Strong and male? What about strong and EQUAL?
I don't think that we are a place in history where we can shoot for equality -- but rather equity (although I support the spirit of the anonymous states from 2/25, 8:09pm). When women still earn 80% of what men earn in comparable positions right after graduation (and 69% 10 years later), are we not looking to prepare women to take leadership roles that challenge the power structures that maintain this unjust distribution of resources (AAUW)?
Vassar has the opportunity to define the role a coed institution can play in preparing women to take on this leadership role (and men as allies to women). As an institution with a history as a women's college, its responsibility toward this goal is great.
So when I argue for equity (rather than equality), I am calling for us to think as an institution about what it means to prepare women and men for these roles -- and perhaps that does not mean leadership is equally distributed.
Welcome to the Women & Leadership at Vassar blog. This blog is a project started by Strong House in attempt to create dialogue about the ways in which women engage in leadership roles on campus.
In the last three years...
0 of 3 VSA Presidents have been women.
8 of 14 VSA Exec members have been women.
6 of 26 House Presidents have been women (and 3 of them had to be women from Strong)!
2 of 12 Class Presidents have been women.
Did you know?
Since 2002-03, only 21 of 62 house presidents have been women
Of the last 10 VSA Presidents, 4 were women, 6 were men. Most recently, there are have been five consecutive male VSA presidents.
Of 53 VSA Exec Board members, 25 were women, 28 were men.

I keep quoting these dead white guys for a reason. We seem to be repeating some particularly nasty history, right now.
Its all in the manual they make you read before they download your being into those tiny bodies in those dark wombs.
