Letter from Kenneth A. Shaw to the Council of Deans

TO: Council of Deans FROM: Kenneth A. Shaw May 23, 1972 RE: Status of Women Doctorates in this Country Enclosed is further information about the status of women doctorates in this country. As we discussed earlier it is important that those departments under-represented in terms of the proportion of women that they have, take positive steps to hire women. I might add that this goes for the hiring of black faculty also. A good guide would be to compare the department's situation with that of the College at large or to compare the department situation with the percentage of women receiving doctorates in that field.
