| Authors: | Robinson, Jean |

| Abstract: | This analysis examined how students evaluated components of their academic department and whether existing programs created a woman-friendly environment for students. Women-friendliness was identified when departments were described by students as being effective in responding to women as underrepresented in the discipline. Students were asked to explain aspects of their program they wanted to change, to identify three aspects they wanted to retain, and to describe when they felt valued and supported by the department. Research findings were based on (1) coding of responses to questions in 150 face-to-face 60 minute interviews at 5 major Research I universities, (2) network analysis of the coded responses from students in Computer Science, Information Science, Informatics and other IT programs; and (3) analysis of programs designed to address women’s needs and provide support as described on websites and other departmental and university materials. |
