| Abstract | Women and racial minorities are thought to face particular disadvantages in managerial and professional settings. The research studies exploring the influence of gender and racial discrimination, campus politics, and stereotyping on the status of women suggest there are barriers for all women being hired, promoted, or mentored. The previous findings also suggest that the stated progress of women, particularly minority women, even more specifically, Asian American females, in the higher education workforce requires further investigation.; With ever-increasing number of Asian American students in colleges and universities and the fast-changing demographics in the higher education landscape, there needs to be an urgent action to encourage, recruit, and support the new generation of leaders that is more indicative of this change. The lack of representation of Asian American women in higher education administration needs more attention.; Through in-depth interviews, the author explores the socialization process of Asian American female administrators at various four-year institutions in the United States. The lack thereof in the proportional representation of women administrators by race and ethnicity will be examined. This study provides insight to what they experience in workplace setting in terms of politics, network, and ethgender identity. Also questioned is the availability of pipeline for these women and the new strategies to implement to aid their career mobility. The researcher also asks the question of the "chilly campus climate" for these women and if it has thawed for minority women in administration. The socio-cultural experiences of these women will be closely examined in terms of politics, access, stereotype threats, and internal support links which include mentoring, professional development, and internal and external advocacy groups.; With ever-increasing number of Asian American students in colleges and universities and the fast-changing demographics in the higher education landscape, there needs to be an urgent action to encourage, recruit, and support the new generation of leaders that is more indicative of this change. The lack of representation of Asian American women in higher education administration needs more attention. |
