Women's business group works to provide support
By Janet Rorholm Kansan staff writer
When Rhetta Noever started working at the school of business 30 years ago, the third floor did not have a women's bathroom, and she could count the number of women enrolled in the school on one hand.
"I remember some of the remarks made about them," she said. The women in the school at that time were considered racy.
The most recent numbers compiled by the school show that the gap between the number of male and female undergraduates enrolled in the school in 1990 had decreased -470 men and 310 women were enrolled.
Sarah Dean, Lawrence resident who works at Sustainable Agriculture in Fairway as an investment manager, helped to form the MBA Women. The group began five years ago to support women in business and the school.
She said the reason women had not obtained high-level positions was because it took more time for women to climb the ladder. Women also encountered more barriers.
But members of the MBA Women, a group of business school alumnae with master's of business administration degrees, said the business field was still dominated by men, especially at higher levels.
More women in business school
There was no reason they could not go into business, but it just was not done, said Noëver, assistant director of undergraduate programs at the school of business. The majority of women who went to college at that time went into education. The women in business were pioneers.
More women in business school The School of Business was once dominated by men, but over the years more women have chosen to major in business. Today, the gap between the two has narrowed.

"One thing we do know is that the women who are coming out of school don't feel there are barriers," Dean said. "But the higher women go, the more limitations and barriers there are."
MBA Women is helping to change things.
Dean said the group also would like to have more women on the faculty.
The group works with the administration on women's issues. It also helped place women on the school's lecture series and the advisory board.
It recently created the Women's Development Fund through the University of Kansas Endowment Association.
Seeing women as role models in business can help prepare both men and women for the work place, she said.
The fund was designed to help women with almost anything, Dean said. It already provided a scholarship for one doctoral student and a fellowship for a faculty member.
Hundreds of graduates that the group surveyed expressed concern about women's issues in the work place, including men's attitudes towards women in traditionally maledominated areas, she said.
"If men don't perceive women in these roles like statistics or finance, they can have trouble dealing with a woman in that position if they come across it," Dean said.
She said change could come from the education.
Carolyn Patterson, Lenexa resident and owner of a computer consulting business called Sirius Design, said the main reason the MBA Women was formed was to give women the opportunity to meet each other.
Men have had support networks in place for a very long time and women need the same opportunity, she said.
"Besides what you normally think, deals are not made over a desk at the office," Patterson said. "Deals are done at country clubs, golf courses and over dinner."
