Women and discrimination in academe.
Affirmative action on the campus has led to some changes, but women and minorities have made little headway, especially in terms of being hired. At some institutions, after a year or two of affirmative action, the number and percentage of women has decreased while the number and percentage of men increased. The greatest progress has been in the areas of new legislation, general awareness, and correction of salary inequities. Various laws and court decisions relative to discrimination are discussed, as well as the relationship between women's and minority issues--Sandler, B. Women and discrimination in academe.
