College Student Journal, v42 n1 p15-23 Mar 2008
The current article presents an analytical study of female students' participation in the representative councils in various Jordanian Universities. The data-base applied in the present investigation has indicated a clear weak representation of female students in general. The possible reasons, behind this weakness, have been tracked using a questionnaire technique. The analysis of the data has been used to formulate some solutions, which will lead to female students' empowerment in the students' environment in particular and therefore, in the social life in general. This in return will enhance the sustainable development in Jordan in long run. (Contains 5 tables.)
