Gender Discrimination in Higher Education Institutes: An Examination of Female Faculty Experiences in Bihar Universities

Dr. Sadhna K. Sharma

Abstract: Gender discrimination is not new and most of us accept it as a fact, but now it's changing, Women are acknowledging the power of education and financial freedom because of that, gender discrimination is now decreasing. We consider higher education institutes as a place where the minds of society are inspired to make a change in society. But it's very disappointing that in higher education institutes those who have the responsibility to change society positively, are also stuck in the regressive mindset. For this study an online survey was conducted in the different universities of Bihar among the female teachers and questions were asked about the behaviors of male staff. This survey was conducted on 100 female teachers from different universities and colleges in Bihar. The results of this study showed that still there is 73% of females as a professor in colleges and universities still feel gender discrimination, and because of that around 68% of females in this study felt psychological or mental trauma at some point in time.
