Notable in the media in Kamloops how much attention was and is paid to her "style" and "unusual" nature. Of the list above, notable, too how few female presidents are presidents of large institutions.

At Thompson Rivers Univ., I believe Dr. K. Scherf has one of 3 VP's, and 3 of 8 AVP's who are female. (Thus, a higher percentage than 16. One wonders if having a female university president corresponds to more (fewer) female VP and AVP than when the Presidency is held by a male.)
