With calls for (business) leaders to contribute to greater global fairness and social justice (BAWB
2006
; Maak and Pless
Journal of Business Ethics, 88
, 537–550,
2009
), this paper considers gender equality on University home web page images as one means of communicating equal access to leadership roles for both men and women. Although there are many paths for leadership development, one important purpose of Universities is to create people who will potentially become leaders in our society (Shapiro
2005
). We analyzed the home web pages at 24 leading universities to identify implicit messages about gender roles, building on implicit leadership theory and leadership prototypes. Using an adapted version of Goffman’s frame analysis (
1979
), our results suggest depiction of gender equality in university home web pages, in contrast to studies of print advertisements (cf., Kang
Sex Roles, 37
(11/12), 979–996,
1997
; Lindner
Sex Roles, 51
(7/8), 409–421,
2004
). Our results also identify specific opportunities to depict greater equity and to continue to expand the potential for both women and men to be seen as being capable and belonging on this leadership path.
