ABSTRACT Four issues of a quarterly newsletter address programs, issues, and concerns of women students, faculty and administrators in higher education. Each issue contains many brief reports on events, news, litigation, legislation, and campus programs on the following topics: sexual harassment, working in academe, news from around the campus, sexual assault, women in athletics, and resources (conferences, new programs, publications). Final pages contain Job Line listings of positions open at colleges and universities around the nation. The Winter issue leads with a report on a Supreme Court ruling that makes sexual harassment easier to prove. The Spring issue includes a chronology of important events in the history of sexual harassment education, a section reporting on

campus violence, and introduction of a new regular feature on the . National Identification Program which identifies and supports women with the potential to advance in higher education administration. The Summer issue includes an article on the Center for Women Policy Studies. The Fall issue contains a money watch section with several reports on damages and legal costs to several institutions in sexual harassment cases. It also contains sections on women in science and women in academe overseas. (JB)

ABOUT WOMEN ON CAMPUS 0 SPRING 1994 12 American Couricil on Education/National Identification Program (ACT/NIP) 1994 Vision Statement

As the American Council on Education's (ACE) National Identification Program (NIP) approaches the threshold of its third decade, it is important both to reflect upon its achievements and to envision its future role. Over the 16-year history of the ACE/NIP much has been accomplished. The number of women participating and succeeding in higher education at all levels has steadily increased, as have the number of women in senior administrative positions, especially presidencies. But the gains of recent years have not come easily, and much remains to be accomplished. Women's presence and visibility in education, business, the media, and politics have increased substantially, yet our full influence in the public arena has not been realized. It is clear that rededication to the goal of advancing women leaders in higher education is important. But more is needed to achieve the ultimate goal of crafting an educational, social, and political climate in which the voices of women in all their diversity and richness are valued in setting the public agenda. We are now embarking on the next phase of the NIPa phase that will seek to transform the organizational life of college campuses and to engage all in the academy in envisioning an environment in which women and men together can reach a new level of understanding and communication. This new exchange will enhance opportunities for everyone and may be the most difficult phase of all. At the same time in which the National Identification Program is continuing and intensifying its allegiance to advance women to senior positions and presidencies, it must also develop and promote a framework to assure that women gain a greater public voice. This public voice is essential to women being heard and involved in shaping national policies, determining institutional agendas, and naming priorities for group action. Given the increased importance of global awareness on every level of society, the NIP will seek to develop an international dimension first by creating an international network of women presidents and then by encouraging international programming at the state level. In assuring that the voices of women worldwide are at the center of both conversations and debates that form public agendas for the future, the ACE/NIP reaffirms its founding principle of inclusion, i.e., a belief that women, in all our diversityrace, ethnicity, sexual-orientation, class, disabilitymust be integral to our collective voice. Our ultimate goal is the inclusion of the voices and values of all women and men, not only in shaping the NIP, but more important, in molding the future of higher education and society. ACE/NIP participants are buoyed by past successes and energized by their vision that a future environment can be created in which the voices of all women and men can be heard and understood. In pursuing this goal, ACE/NIP assertively embraces the challenge of creating new metaphors and being open to new paradigms informed by n.nv knowledge andthoughtful conversation.
