NSF Advance-PLAN projectdesigned to address gender equity through policy change on a statewide level. The project isbased on the model of change that identifies effective change as a top-down policy drivenapproach through a central authority, in this case, a statewide board of regents that oversees allpublic universities. The model for top-down change is particularly suited to a small, rural statewhere a) n-values for gender related statistics at any institution may not be statisticallysignificant b) institutional relations allow for cross-state cooperation and c) size of theinstitutions allows for timely implementation and assessment of policies. In addition,intercollegiate cooperation allows for provosts of all six institutions to serve as
