Description
Biblical Gender Equality in Christian Academia: In spring 2008 a private evangelical, interdenominational university in Southern California, USA released the findings of the university's two-year gender climate study. While positive findings were revealed (i.e.; equal salary for equal faculty rank), so were such concerns as the favoring of men for promotion and tenure, in leadership, and in essential departmental information-sharing networks. (1) The perception of the university female faculty, who represented 27% of the total faculty at that time, was that a dominant influence on cause for their concerns is theological. The authors state "the data suggest that individuals holding more conservative theological views on women's roles tend to be more established at Biola and tend to be less supportive of women's leadership." (2) These concerning theological views were thought by some study participants to be perpetuated by what is taught in the campus seminary.
