Searching for gender equality in the university system is not only a question of social justice or democratic exercise, but an indicator of excellence in the scientific community. The recent emergence of women in the university governance arena is generating multiple investigations. Although up to now the figures and percentages have served to place women in terms of quantity in the academic arena, they may serve us less and less to explain a phenomenon that must be investigated not only from the quantitative but also from the optics of nuances and subtleties. This work delves in quantitative terms in the field of university academic management to reveal the areas of performance that women in academic positions by designation (government teams) develop in the Spanish public university. For this, an exploratory study is carried out using discrete techniques of a non-reactive nature and in the public domain. It is emphasized that 40.91% of designation fees are occupied by women and that the distribution, according to performance areas, is unequal. It is necessary to provide direct information that allows identifying the subtle parameters that still mark the difference between women and men in the distribution of university governance.
