TITLE: The Status of Faculty Women: A Method for
Documentation and Correction of Salary and Rank Inequities
Due to Sex.
YEAR PUBLISHED: (1972)
NOTE: 21 p.
ABSTRACT: It is an increasingly well-documented fact that
women in the American universities suffer from sex
discrimination. Recent federal legislation makes it legally
imperative that employment policies in
higher education afford equal opportunity to women. Under
the law, institutions under federal contracts must be able
to demonstrate positively that no discrimination exists in
any aspect of employment and that affirmative action is
being taken to remedy the effects of past discrimination.
This places the burden of proof on the administration of a
college to provide evidence of its innocence, rather than
the employee or the Federal government to prove the
administration's guilt. This document presents a description
the University of South Florida to
find specific corrective measures to eliminate existing and
discrimination. It was first used for documentation purposes
corrective ones. (Author/HS)
