Abstract
Few issues of the past decade have provoked as much interest, print, and passion in Academe as those of gender equality and multicultural diversity. This should come as no surprise. These vital concerns touch the personal and professional lives of all involved in the higher education enterprise: students, faculty, staff, and administrative officers. And if there are to be satisfactory resolutions to the problems we currently face in these areas, each of us must do his or her utmost, including, of course, the faculty development professional. The four articles in this section boldly, but judiciously, address the issues of gender and multiculturalism, not only providing valuable insights into the problems we face, but also suggesting practical strategies for helping achieve the kind of equality of opportunity for which we strive.
