The Women's Center recognizes the need for data-driven evidence-based research on gender equity-related issues at the university. We also provide a critical examination of existing policies and practices as it concerns women and gender issues.
Status of Women at UD Report Card
The Status of Women at the University of Dayton Report Card focuses on the representation of women employees across the life of the institution. Using data collected each fall from the university's Institutional Research Office, the annual report card focuses on the composition of the workforce and highlights women's representation in academic and non-academic leadership.
Special Report: COVID-19 and Gender
The Women's Center develops special reports and research guides for the campus community in response to local, national and global issues. COVID-19 and Gender: Impacts and Resources provides a timely summary of major research and reports related to coronavirus and gender, with a focus on the impact on women in the workplace, both nationally and within the UD context.
Gender Equity Research Fellowship
Each year, the Women's Center and Women's & Gender Studies Program sponsors two faculty/staff Gender Equity Research Fellows. The fellows work to advance gender equity and social justice through the conduct of high-quality research and the development of subsequent recommendations to share with the campus community.
