ABSTRACT
At the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Kathy Shingleton enjoyed perks afforded to many senior health care executives. On her first day of employment, she drove to work, bypassing all those employees who were looking for parking spots on the street or blocks from campus, and she pulled into a designated spot marked by her name and title. She walked a short distance to her corner office, filled with custom cherry furniture and upholstered chairs. Her view encompassed the Gulf of Mexico where, on many evenings, the sunsets were showstoppers.
