Equity at UW

EQUITY AT UW

UW has low percentages of female faculty compared to other Universities, and it would seem that we have a problem recruiting in Science and Mathematics.

That's one conclusion of a recent study by an FAUW ad hoc committee. FAUW is interested in working with the administration to develop and ensure the implementation of fair policies that will lead to equitable hiring. Before engaging in that discussion, the FAUW Board agreed that we needed a better understanding of the situation at UW with respect to the hiring of women. We asked our 2007-08 VP, Susan Leat (Optometry), to form a committee to investigate the issue. The other committee members were Catherine Burns (Systems Design Engineering), Barb Moffatt (Biology), and Catherine Schryer (English Language and Literature).To see their report, click here.

 

 

FAUW COUNCIL OF REPRESENTATIVES

In January 2008 the FAUW Board of Directors asked Shelley Hulan (English Language and Literature) and Paul Eagles (Recreation and Leisure Studies) to form an ad hoc committee to look into revitalizing the Council of Representatives. To see their report, click here.
