ABSTRACT: News items on the status and education of women
are presented. Among the items pertaining to employment are
the following: a survey of Harvard University graduates
revealed that women had lower salaries and fewer
professional responsibilities than the male graduates; and a
Department of Labor report showed women college graduates
are more likely to hold clerical positions, and less likely
to have managerial status than their male colleagues.
Publications pertaining to women's employment are briefly
reviewed. Among the sexual harassment cases that are noted
are the following: a case in which a professor sued five
women who charged him with sexual harassment; and a ruling
by the U.S. Court of Appeals at Washington, D.C., that
permits a woman to sue her employer to stop sexual
harassment on the job without having to prove that she
resisted and lost her job as a result. Among the other types
of court cases are: the quality-of-pension issues; the
question of whether Title IX covers employment practices;
pregnancy benefits; and tenure. Federal support for women's
education, a new approach to affirmative action proposed by
the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, sex discrimination in
sports cases, information on women in nontraditional
careers, and women's studies programs are also covered.
Developments in the education and status of women in other
countries, concerns pertaining to minority group women,
grants and scholarships for women and minorities, and
bibliographies and publications are examined. An editorial
on educational equity as affected by consolidation and
budget cuts is also presented. (SW)
