ABSTRACT: This annotated bibliography includes 179 citations
of journal articles, books, organizational and research
reports, papers, conference proceedings, and newspaper
articles on sex discrimination in higher education and
efforts to eliminate discrimination. Most of the materials
have been published after 1970. An introduction to the
bibliography provides an overview of the status of women
professionals and students in academic institutions, and the
changes in status that policy and litigation are helping to
bring about. A statistical table presents information on the
proportions of women students and faculty in selected
American universities/colleges, and a second table provides
summaries of court cases concerning discrimination against
women professionals in academic institutions. Among the sex
discrimination issues that the annotated bibliographic
citations cover are tenure; institutional policy; Federal
policy and legislation; court litigation; academic freedom;
affirmative action; male and female differences in
employment levels and salaries; marriage and careers; women
scientists; sexual harassment; and the general labor market
for women. (Author/MJL)
