Description
Introduction This paper addresses the issue of gender equity in the presidency of the university system in the Southern African Development Community (SADC). The university president, also referred to as vice chancellor or rector by some public institutions, shall refer to the chief executive officer of the university and not the ceremonial position performed by heads of state or their designees in some public institutions. The first section of the paper provides the context-the general broader vision of SADC, and specifically the vision and policy drivers for gender equity in higher education. The second part reviews the literature that calibrates SADC gender equity protocols. The final section examines the study and concludes the paper by suggesting ways that SADC countries could implement gender equity in the university leadership with the view of advancing development in the region. Areas of further study are also identified in the conclusion.
