The purposes of this research study were to document the current status of sex-equity efforts in New York State two-year colleges and to identify institutional and individual factors impinging on these-vfforts. A statewide survey collected initial data (N = 37 colleges). At a sample of responding colleges, questionnaires and personal interviews were used to collect information from male and female students enrolled in programs traditional and nontraditional to their sex (N = 361), and from administrators, faculty and staff (N = 72). Results showed that progress toward sex equity has been made, but continued efforts are needed. Achievement of sex equity as a total concept is no either/or situation; rather it becomes a matter of degree or comparative extent. Research results led to recommendations regarding the categories of leadership, support services, career information, materials and facilities, placement, and community service, which would promote sex equity in postsecondary career education.
