Women see progress
From p. 1
Wysong disagrees. "On
the matter of rights being
extended, we have a classic
example in San Francisco.
The Bank of America had a
practice of sending women
home in taxis when they
had to work late at night.
“It went along nicely until
some of the men decided
they should get in on this
and have the same treat
ment. Was the program
extended to the men? No, it
ws wiped out,” she said.
GAINES SEES no connec
tion between the issue of
homosexual right and ERA.
“In states which have state
ERA’S there have already
been court decisions which
have dealt with homosexual
activities one way or
another and the efforts have
been made to link that
(homosexual rights) to the
state ERA’S and the courts
have not seen that link at
all,” she said.
Wysong fears ERA will
overburden the federal
courts as well. "One consti
tutional lawyer said ERA
might not do anything for
women, but it would cer
tainly be a boon for
lawyers, because the courts
would be filled with cases.
You cannot run all these
cases down in a week,” she
said.

Advances in employment
for women are reflected in
137 new positions in the
University, 70 percent of
which were filled this year
by women. Equal Employ
ment Opportunity officer
Myrtle Reul said Thursday.
However, only one in
seven new administrative
positions was filled by a
woman and the majority of
University employes (56
percent) is still male, Reul
said.
Reul. head of the Affir
mative Action Office, spoke
in the first of a lecture
series organized by the
University’s Women’s Stu
dies program. The collo
quium series will feature a
lecture on an area of
women's rights each Thurs
day in the law school
through Feb. 16.
Compared with other in
stitutions, “the University
has been a little late getting
started" in equal employ
ment of women. Reul said.
"We were able to profit
from mistakes others made.
In some areas we have
made more progress in a
short period of time than
others.’’ she added.
The highest concentration
of female employees is in
clerical positions. Of the
1532 clerical employees, 94
percent are women. The
lowest concentration of fe
male employees is in
faculty, Reul said
Three female faculty
members were promoted to
the rank of full professor
last year, the first time the
rank was given to a woman
since the 1969-70 academic
year Although a total of
nine female faculty mem
bers were promoted last
year, Reul said the majority
of women are still in the
lower ranks of the faculty.
Of a total of 167 instruct
ors. 65 (51 percent) are
women, while only 15 (4
percent) of the 382 who hold
the highest rank, that of
professor, are women, Reul
said.
“The instructor level is
the only place (in the
faculty) where there are
more females than males,”
she said.
Tenure is a serious
problem for women, accord
ing to Reul. Because of the
difficulty women have been
faced with in getting
funding for research and in
getting work published, it
has been harder for many
women to meet require
ments for tenure
"There have been cases
where women used their
initials rather than their full
name and got a more
favorable response from a
publisher on the same
article that may have
hardly been considered
because the author was a
woman,” Reul said
Of the total of 647 tenured
faculty members, only 60
(21 percent) are women,
she said. “This is a real
danger in that 79 percent of
the women faculty mem
bers are not tenured." Reul
said. "Anyone not tenured
can be dismissed without
explanation." she added
Comparatively, 47 percent
of male faculty members
have tenure, she said.
The University’s Guide
lines for Promotions and
Appointments states that no
person can serve more than
seven years at the rank of
instructor or assistant prof
essor without tenure. When
a faculty member is gran
ted tenure, his job is
guaranteed. Requirements
for tenure encompass teach
ing and research.

them and make suggestions for
revisions.
However, he did say special
ists with a high degree of
supervisory responsibility and
those with highly trained
technical knowledge and skills
would most likely be in the
upper level of specialists.
James said there was no
reason why the placement of
specialists into the new posi
tions could not begin next
week. "My office is charged
with that responsibility, but I
defintely want some input from
the library," he said.
The new job specifications
for the library specialists were
devised from information
gathered last spring in data
forms which all University
classified employees filled out
as part of a study to revise the
classified system
THESE FORMS were phase
one of a study by the Hay
Associates of Philadelphia,
who were’hired by the Board
of Regents to conduct a
university system wide revi
sion of the classified em
ployees system.
James’ office took the forms
filled out by the specialists and
used them in devising the two
new job levels. He will also use
the forms to help decide in
which level each employee
should be.
James said the library

Week of culture planned
specialists will also participate
in phase two of the Hay
Associates study, which will
include the professional, ad
ministrative and supervisory
ranks of the University. In this
phase of the study the library
specialists will be filling out
the same data forms as the
professional librarians.
James said a comparison of
the professional and specialists
forms could help ir. determin
ing whether there are library
specialists who perform the
same work as professional
librarians
THE QUESTION of whether
or not the library specialists
perform professional work has
been one of the central issues
in the specialist controversy.
Boes claims no specialist
does professional work.
However, at least eight
library specialists now hold
positions which were previous
ly held by professional librar
ians.
Under the present system, a
masters degree in library
science (M.L.S.) is a require
ment for employment as a
professional librarian
However, James said he has
recommended to Trotter that
there be a way established for
an employee to move from the
specialist ranks to the ranks of
professional librarian without
the M.L.S. degree.
