overcome gender differences and high profile jobs relating to institution policy change
and development in selected Universities of Western Uganda. The study adopted an
observational, cross-sectional exploration design with both quantitative and qualitative
as paradigms in order to describe the data and its characteristics. Questionnaires and
an interview guides were employed to gather information from the respondents. Data

that there was a positive correlation between addressing gender differences and top job
positions in universities in western Uganda. The study suggested remedies like; that
there is need to advertise and give scholarships to young and well qualified women to
go and pursue further studies for their career development and for helping their
organizations to grow. There is need to encourage girl child education through the
practice of positive discrimination and affirmative action in society. The study
recommend also the practice of gender mainstreaming for all academic institutions to
