Women have been making inroads in higher education administration, at least at the No. 2 spot, in Virginia.
``I have been very impressed with the progress women have made in the academic vice presidential level'' in Virginia, said Margaret A. Miller, associate director of the State Council of Higher Education.
Five of Virginia's 15 state-supported four-year schools - or one-third - have female provosts, the equivalent of vice presidents of academic affairs. Most have been appointed since 1990.
The five women are:
Gillian Cell, College of William and Mary
Martha Dawson, Virginia State University
Jo Ann Gora, Old Dominion University
Grace Harris, Virginia Commonwealth University
Bethany Oberst, James Madison University by CNB
