	The Old Boy Network
		The “old boy” network may be one reason why women are underrepresented in positions of power.
		The most atrocious effect of the “old boy” network is when a woman—or a man not in the network—is passed up for a raise, a promotion, a coveted project assignment, or professional development funds in favor of a less qualified employee.
		A “new female” network is a proactive group of women who mentor, communicate, and advocate on behalf of other women.

	Invisible Adjunct: James McPherson on the "Old Boy Network"
		Actually, Alex, networks really matter very little now save for a handful of institutions that imagine themselves to be suitable only for the creme de la creme of the graduate student crop.
		For example, there's a relationship between "networking to get undergrads accepted as graduate students" and "networking to place graduate students in jobs." Given the appalling market in the humanities, only truly churlish or clueless faculty now abstain from trying to make calls on behalf of their graduate students.
		There are some old guys who are crazy as loons, there are some younger men and women who have managed to accomodate themselves to careerism while still maintaining their mensch-like character.

	The Good Old Boy Network, by Lee W. Gaylord
		On television you see the good old boys in shows like “In the Heat of the Night” and other shows that take place in the small towns of the south.
		The call of the good old boys is, “Get that SOB even if he is innocent.” Instead of solving the crime they dispose of it by convicting a person whether they did it or not.
		Three reasons, because they are incompetent, because they were financially rewarded or because they are one of the good old boys.

	Old-boy network at work - Aug. 09, 2003
		THE MOVE of the government to turn over Navy Lieutenant Senior Grade Antonio Trillanes IV and his fellow officers to the Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (ISAFP) is reprehensible and disgusting.
		One of the telling signs of institutionalized corruption is the existence of an old-boy network protecting itself against any complaints brought forward.
		It often happens in such a mutually protective network that the accused officials themselves become the de facto judge of the complaints filed against them, and the whistle-blower then becomes the person under investigation.

	PROFESSIONAL WOMEN TAKE ON OLD BOY'S NETWORK (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		New girls networks' are challenging the traditional power of some of the most established old boy networks such as the senior civil service, according to a Demos report 'Girlfriends in High Places'.
		Women are often effectively excluded from informal networks at work because they don't engage in small-talk about football which enables men to bond before meetings, nor are they around for pub trips because of working flexible hours.
		The report argues that the growth in women's professional networks, including one for senior female civil servants, has the potential to change work place culture in a way that benefits women.

	Subversion through the Old Boy Network (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		By now it is apparent, as has been suspected for some time, that there exists in American Catholicism a network of homosexual clergy and that this network, which extends into the ranks of the episcopacy, has significant influence on the life of the Church.
		The network of Cambridge spies was, with one exception, homosexual (Philby was a compulsive philanderer), and it could also rely on contemporaries who were themselves neither sexually nor politically subversive but who were loyal to their old friends and classmates.
		But the clerical homosexual network, it is now obvious, extends into the most elite levels of this elite profession—bishops, seminary rectors, chancery officials, superiors of religious orders—who feel strong bonds of loyalty to one another and are reluctant to acknowledge misconduct by residents of those rarified circles.

		At that point, my doubts about the old boy network began to sound like my doubts about ailing computer giant Sun Microsystems.
		Perhaps the evolution of the Williams Old Boy Network is not quite as dramatic as Sun Microsystems, since old boy networks have more informal goals than companies do.
