Letter from Kenneth A. Shaw to Jane Sheets and Annette Flower

April 24, 1972 TO: Professor Sheets and Professor Flower FROM: Kenneth A. Shaw RE:Your Letter of April 19 Thank you for your letter of · April 19. I am grateful for the efforts that you and your colleagues have made in sensitizing the academic community to the problems of women on this campus. As I stated in my earlier letter to you, it is hoped that persons who feel themselves a victim of discrimination appeal through this office. In answer to your question about an affirmative action plan for Towson State, it is our understanding that HEW plans to develop and distribute guidelines for compliance and that this will occur before most colleges and universities are asked to prepare such a plan. To date we have not been asked to prepare an affirmative action plan but it is believed that HEW will distribute its guidelines some time this spring or summer. KAS:pw
