| Columns::January 14, 2002 Around academe Women earn more degrees than men Women earned more college degrees in the United States, graduate and undergraduate combined, than men in 1999-2000, but men earned more doctorates, according to a report issued by the Department of Education. Released this past month by the National Center for Education Statistics, the report says women earned 57 percent of bachelor’s degrees and 58 percent of master’s degrees. But 56 percent of doctorates were awarded to men. The report also found that 20 percent of all bachelor’s degrees were in business management and administrative services, more than any other discipline. College imposes employee furloughs South Carolina’s Trident Technical College is responding to state budget cuts by making its 560 full-time employees forgo 10 days of work and pay over the next 18 months. The college’s president said the furloughs--an attempt to avoid layoffs--would save the college more than $1 million. Trident employees will lose four days this academic year and six in the next one. If the state budget outlook improves, the president says the college may abandon some of the furlough days designated for next year.
