Letter from Kenneth A. Shaw to the Council of Deans

TO: Council of Deans PROM: Kenneth A. Shaw RE: Women May 9. 1972 Enclosed is information which may be of help to you and to departments in the hiring of women and minority faculty. It prepared by Dr. Cecilia Foxley of the University of Iowas and is in a booklet entitled Recruiting Women and Minority Faculty. I would like to, again, emphasize the importance of our hiring women and b black faculty and hope that departments are taking this seriously. Very often when HEW dos an evaluation of an institution in terms of compliance with the variou Civil Right Acts it asks institutions the number of women and minority people who are interviewed for positions and the number who were hired. It would not be bad idea for us to keep tract of this for the inevitable evaluation. Also, enclosed is an ACE special report pertaining to sex discrimination and contract compliance. On Page 5 there is a discussion of issues in contract compliance and things that colleges should be working toward, KAS:pw Enc. (2)
