ABSTRACT: Issues of concern to women that were identified
by various campus groups are presented and discussed in
this volume. Included are reports that were made by female
graduate students, undergraduate students, a professional
constituency committee, a faculty committee, and a staff
constituency committee. Specific topic areas addressed
include the hiring and promotion of female faculty,
research on women, women's studies, sexism, job placement,
housing, campus security, affirmative action, equal job
opportunities for female faculty, and salary equalization.
Emphasis is placed throughout on a statistical presentation
of the status of women. Recommendations for study or action
in each of the areas discussed are made. Appendices provide
supportive data, analyses of data, and the findings of a
1976-77 survey conducted by the American Association of
University Women to determine what progress has been made
by women since the advent of affirmative action and equal
opportunity laws. (EB)
