  7. The key to success Follow your intellect and your heart and never take NO for an answer • For a woman to succeed in a man's world she must ignore the social conventions that seperate her from men and ignore the fear of disrupting people's comfort zones, because it is exactly those comfortable conventions that sustain sexist, racists, and all unjust structures in general.

  8. Formula for Calculating the Dynamics of Professor Rank Composition • Pfull =Pofull + Passoc(dFfull/dt)xt -dG full/dt Passoc= Pool size of Associate Professors Pofull = The percentage of Professors in the Faculty at Time 0 dF/dt = turnover rate for the Major Faculty dG/dt = the turnover rate of the Minority Group (usually the rate of general faculty) dG= full/dt=(dFfull/dt)xPfull t=time

  9. Formulae for Computing Faculty Changes • Pfull =Pofull + Passoc(dFfull/dt)xt - dG full/dt • Passoc=Poassoc+ Passist(dFassoc/dt)xt - dGassoc/dt • Passist=Poassist + Presidents(dF)xt - dGassist/dt
