BACKGROUND NOTE
The Academic Women's Equity Coalition began in 1983-84,
developing out of informal discussions on equity issues among some women
faculty members at South Dakota State University. Membership was open
to all female faculty members at South Dakota State University and other
persons, male or female, who supported the purposes of the Academic
Women's Equity Coalition. The purposes of the coalition included
working to identify, investigate and seek solutions related to issues of
equity at South Dakota State University; to providing opportunity for
the exchange of information and ideas related to academic women's
issues; and to serving as support and action group for faculty women.
The coalition's area of activity included the promotion of non-sexist
language, equality in hiring practices, salaries and promotions and
tenure, and encouraging women to move into administrative positions at
South Dakota State University.
SCOPE AND CONTENTS NOTE
This collection is composed of clippings, membership
and committee lists, correspondence, meeting agenda, programs,
finances and a brief history of the group. Also included is a rough
draft of an official complaint of discrimination at South Dakota
State University filed with the Office of Federal Contract
Compliance Programs and notification of results of the
investigation.
