Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that most of the schools in Gail's district have male principals and that most of the school board's employees are female indicates that there is vertical segregation, which is the unequal distribution of job opportunities and resources among different groups in a hierarchical organization. This suggests that there may be discriminatory practices at play that prevent women from advancing to higher positions of authority and leadership in the school district.
