[Tom McAndrew]

lots of quotes from PSU Trustees Barb Doran and Alice Pope in the article, which can be accessed at this link.

PSU's BOT Chair, Ken Masser, is also interviewed in the article.

I guess Penn State was ahead of its time with Peetz and Baldwin. Yay.

My wife was a Board member of the Healthcare Businesswoman's Association. During her term, the Board was composed of nineteen women and no men. Their twenty nine member advisory board had just seven men. It can cut both ways depending on the nature of an organization.

The nature of the Penn State organization is that nearly 50% of the students are female.

So a businesswoman's association was comprised of all women?? What are the odds of that??

This is true on corporate boards as well

Very few companies have a female majority on the Boards of Directors.

most organizations are, except the National Organization for Women (NOW)

And Cosmo.

The association had some male members but none on the Board.
