Call University Relations at (612) 624-6868. Nine budget scenarios were presented by VP Erickson and associate VP Richard Pfutzenreuter at a joint meeting of Senate Committee on Finance and Planning and Faculty Consultative Committee (FCC) Dec. 21. Each option contained different assumptions about salary increases, tuition increases, nonsalary inflationary increases, and the size of a strategic investment pool (SIP). Detailed summary of the discussion is in the committee minutes. One big variable is facilities costs, VP Erickson said. Whether winter is cold or mild, and whether summer is hot or cool, has a significant effect on utility costs; in recent years the U has been lucky in this respect. If the U begins to provide more access as part of U 2000, that will mean keeping buildings open longer. If classes can be clustered, Erickson said, not only can amenities be increased but utility costs can be controlled. Accomplishing this would require faculty cooperation in scheduling. Actual cost of delivering a 6% salary increase to faculty and staff was debated. Some said it could be as small as 4% when turnovers and vacancies are accounted for; others expressed great doubt that it could be that little. Historically, someone said, when units were provided the full percentage, the actual raises delivered were higher because of increases on vacant lines and turnover. FCC has said 6% increases should be funded, but it was not clear whether this meant delivering a full 6% to units or giving them whatever it takes to give 6% raises. One committee member outlined several premises that seemed to win general endorsement: a 6% salary increase (6% received), $3.5 million for nonsalary inflation, and 3.5% tuition increase, plus 1.5% to create seed money for the SIP. The SIP funded by a 1.5% tuition increase would be a down payment on U 2000; the SIP would be more generously funded in 1995-96, after the planning cycle is completed and more information is available. The SIP for 1994-95 would be used for quality increases, in line with the agreement with ,the legislature. The retrenchment question for 1994-95 is the size of the SIP, a committee member said. The 2 committees have spoken for a small SIP next year and larger ones thereafter, but the regents apparently favor a larger SIP. Numbers have to be put on the table and it isn't fun, VP Erickson said, but despite the "doom and gloom" that have pervaded the U recently, he remains optimistic about its future. It is wrestling with problems that have faced it for a long time, and they will be dealt with. Settlement was reached last week between the U and 5 professors who turned 70 between July 1, 1993, and Dec. 31, 1993, when a federal law ended all mandatory retirements of college professors solely for reasons of age. Chester Anderson, Eva Keuls, Andrew MacLeish, Paul Murphy, and Ivan Policoff will all teach for at least another year and will retain full tenure rights. The 5 had threatened a lawsuit when the regents voted in November to extend the mandatory retirement policy through Dec. 31; the faculty members had seen at least 4 printed documents earlier stating that mandatory retirements would end July 1 and had planned according! y. Minnesota Poll conducted statewide by the Star Tribune and WCCO-TV in December shows that, despite a year of unfavorable headlines, most Minnesotans still believe the U is doing a good or excellent job of educating students. A majority, 55%, said the U does a good job, and 12% called it excellent. Only 2% said poor, and 18% said only fair. More than a third, 34%, said the Medical School is better than most other medical schools (compared with 45% in 1967); the largest group, 43%, said the quality is the same, and only I 4% said it is worse. More than half, 51%, said they would vote to spend more tax money on the U if they were in the legislature. That's 20 percentage points higher than in 1953, when the same question was asked. But 24% said they would spend less, compared with only 10% 40 years ago. I Commission on Women invites proposals for projects that further its goal to improve and enhance the [ working and learning environment for U women. Grants of up to $2,000 each will be awarded. This year the commission especially encourages proposals on mentoring. Projects that recognize diversity, cut across institutional boundaries of staff, student, or faculty status, and involve collaboration among units and constituencies are also encouraged.

ONSLAUGHT: COMMERCIAL SPEECH AND GENDER INEQUALITY Tamara R. Pietyt ABSTRACT Utilizing Dove's infamous "Onslaught" viral ad, this Article explores the ways commercial speech constructs images of and attitudes toward women that interfere with full equality for women. Advertising and marketing contribute to creating a social reality in which it is taken for granted that women must spend a great deal of time on appearance and that appearance is of critical importance to life success. As is typical for much advertising, it often does this by stimulating anxiety. Such anxiety may contribute to low self-esteem, lowered ambitions and stereotype threat reactions, as well as to biased reactions on the part of others-all of which may serve as obstacles to women achieving greater equality. The barrage of images which portray women as sexual objects or commodities also sends a message in some tension with full equality for women and may similarly lead to harmful self-conceptions on the part of women, as well as leading both men and women to view women as less competent.

  • From the Head of School
    From the Head of School December 2007/January 2008 Dateline: Johannesburg, South Africa My time in South Africa has left me asking Shakespeare’s question, ‘What’s in a name?’ I went seeking partnerships with the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls and African Leadership Academy (ALA), two schools in Johannesburg that are committed to developing the next generation of African leaders. I went to forge relationships that will be beneficial to our school and to these two Leadership Academies. Castilleja’s global education initiatives will clearly be enhanced by these relationships, but what do we bring to the table? Make no mistake about it: I was asked that question often, beginning just a few hours after our 22-hour trip from San Francisco. That first night John and I went out to dinner with John’s longtime friend and colleagueCharlayne Hunter-Gault, until recently CNN’s bureau chief for South Africa, and her husband, business leader Ron Gault. After an invaluable orientation to the current social, political and economic climate of the city and country, they cut to the chase. “What makes you think you can help or that these schools will want your help?” It was a gentle but direct warning about the danger of coming across as ‘educational imperialists,’ a sensitive issue in a country that has only recently shaken off the shackles of white rule. Forewarned, I resolved to keep quiet about our 100 years of educating women to be leaders. As it turned out, I needn’t have worried, because Castilleja’s reputation preceded me, and the leaders at each Leadership Academy asked questions and sought my advice.

    Gender and the Law Stories: Learning from the Longstanding Debate The Ruth Bader Ginsburg Lecture --- Feb. 7, 2011 Martha Minow1 To give a lecture named for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to this august assembly is an extraordinary honor, and to do so in her company is simply a joy. Justice Ginsburg, your significance to my professional fields of civil procedure, constitutional law, and gender and the law is simply unparalleled. And your place in my own life includes pivotal encouragement as you joined the appellate bench and while I served as a clerked. Later, there was a memorable phone call telling me you nominated me to serve on the board of the American Bar Foundation—an affiliation that changed my research and my relationship with the bar. I will never forget your support as I decided to entitle an article, “Justice Engendered,” in the Harvard Law Review. Your example-- as a short, Jewish woman whose work opens the literal and professional doors I have been lucky enough to enter. Your repeated kindnesses mean more than I can ever say. 1 Dean and Jeremiah Smith, Jr. Professor, Harvard Law School. Thanks to Vicki Jackson, Josephine Minow, Nell Minow, Newton Minow, and Joe Singer for helpful comments, and to the many friends and students who helped with my in efforts in the related work published in Elizabeth Schneider and Stephanie Waldman, Women and the Law Stories (2011) and Martha Minow, In Brown’s Wake: Legacies of America’s Judicial Landmark (2010). 1 I want to take a moment to salute Marty, who I know loved this event and who remains a distinguished, beloved graduate of my school—and the chef of one of the few good meals I had while in Washington.

  • Chief Executive Officer Search
    CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER SEARCH 1 Canal Street • PO Box 335 • Seneca Falls, NY 13148 • womenofthehall.org • (315) 568-8060 T HE S EA RC H The Board of Directors of the National Women’s Hall of Fame invites applications and nominations of highly experienced, energetic, and creative candidates for the position of Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Candidates should be attracted to the opportunity to provide highly transformative leadership for the nation’s premier institution honoring exceptional American women who embody the National Women’s Hall of Fame mission of “Showcasing great women . Inspiring all”. The National Women’s Hall of Fame (NWHF/the Hall) is expanding in every way – in size, in reach, in influence. To better accommodate these ambitions, the NWHF rehabilitated the historic 1844 Seneca Knitting Mill located on the Seneca-Cayuga branch of the Erie Canal in Seneca Falls, NY, and moved into it in 2020. This extraordinary achievement was completed over nine years with 10 million dollars of funding. The NWHF is eager to embrace the opportunities enabled by this new, expansive space, including honoring the importance and sense of “place” that Seneca Falls and the Erie Canal system have played in the history of the economic, social, and human rights movements of the United States of America. Following this historic move, in this historic year celebrating the centennial of women’s suffrage, the National Women’s Hall of Fame now seeks a talented, proven leader dedicated to expanding the Hall’s national footprint, advancing its fundraising capacity, strengthening its organizational structure, and planning and implementing an ambitious agenda of new programs and exhibits.
