"One does often see that women are the assistant X or the associate X," says S. Georgia Nugent, associate provost of Princeton.
Still, Harvard has not done as well as other schools in appointing women to the very top positions.
"I think 'elite' universities are probably lagging a bit--we're not the best among our cohort of schools," Hoyte says.
Judith Rodin at the University of Pennsylvania was the Ivy League's first female president, named in 1993. Prior to arriving in Philadelphia, she was Yale's provost. One former University of Chicago president, Hanna H. Gray, also served as Yale's provost.
Yale's current provost, Alison F. Richard, says, "In terms of the administration, Yale does very well in having a balance--it starts right at the top."
Nugent says there has been a "fairly strong presence" of women at high levels of the administration there as well.
The dean of Princeton College is female, a recent dean of the faculty was also a woman and a number of associate provosts are female.
