Program on the Status and Education of Women (PSEW)

Beyond Limits Fund

To celebrate PSEW’s fortieth anniversary in 2011 and sustain the program’s continuing efforts on behalf of women in higher education, AAC&U has established the Beyond Limits Fund. Gifts to the fund will support PSEW’s work toward eliminating barriers for women in higher education by 2051, when the program will celebrate a second forty years of advocacy and leadership.

What Does It Support?

The Beyond Limits Fund provides a way for individuals committed to improving equity for women in higher education to help support AAC&U’s leadership through the Program on the Status and Education of Women. Revenues from the Beyond Limits Fund will:

• enable PSEW to create publications like its recent report, A Measure of Equity: Women’s Progress in Higher Education, and pursue other projects aimed at improving women’s participation and success across higher education;
• be restricted to PSEW’s initiatives on behalf of women and girls in education;
• provide increased flexibility to PSEW, allowing support to be directed where it is most needed to support the program’s work.

As we celebrate PSEW’s fortieth anniversary and look toward the next forty years, this fund will help sustain and extend the program’s legacy of eliminating barriers for women and optimizing the conditions for gender equity in higher education.
