on the Status of Women

Purpose

The Committee on the Status of Women serves as an advisory committee to the Chancellor on campus policies, procedures and issues as they affect the status of women faculty, staff and students. Examples of policies and issues include but are not limited to:

  • proposed changes to the University Statutes and general rules
  • undergraduate and graduate educational practices, policies and factors of climate which affect women's continued educational opportunities or development and realization of their educational goals
  • current policies, practices and climate pertaining to employment and continuing educational opportunities of women in faculty, academic professional and civil service positions that affect equality of opportunity (i.e., tenure rollbacks, sick leave for staff, changes in University hours or schedules, etc.)
  • sexual harassment
  • salary equity
  • child care
  • spousal appointments
  • maternity and family leaves

Through discussion, deliberation and review CSW ensures that such issues receive proper attention and that they are the subject of careful analysis and deliberation. CSW is charged specifically with bringing such issues to the attention of Chancellor and making recommendations to improve the status of women on campus.
