DUN GIFFORD VICE: PRESIDENT-URBAN AF"f"AIRS July 27, 1976 Mr. James Reston THE NEW YORK TIMES 1920 L Street N.W. Washington, D. C. 20036 Dear Scotty: I don•t like to beat dead horses -- or quick ones, for that matter -- but here is an article from Sunday•s Globe which reveals that the Carter - Mondale campaign has taken that "academics" column of yours directly to heart. There are a lot of representatives of the new generation now involved and working, and their representation has been made formal. The composition of the task forces with less visibility that the foreign affairs/national security/economics ones are. really amazingly non-ideological, and do draw from numerous groups. The experience of serving of them (I am on the energy task force, in addition to the Housing, Land Use & Environment one) is very much different from the experience of similar ef­ forts in the past, and makes me begin to believe that it is possible not only to talk about unifying different Democratic Party groups, but actually to do it. Of course, the proof will be in the pudding, but we;re ofi to a good start. I think it essential to note as well that the Charles River effort we are mounting up here is matched by efforts at other centers of alleged excellence -- e.g. through Bill Friday at the U. of North Carolina (for education) and through Bill Simon of the Institute of Urban Studies at the U. of Houston. Let me renew my earlier suggestion that some time on the way to the Vineyard you might want to sit in for an hour or so with one or the other of the groups here in Boston. My best, K.

  • Sexual Harassment Policy in the U.S., the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and Women's Economic Citizenship, 1975-1991
    NOT "PART OF THE JOB": SEXUAL HARASSMENT POLICY IN THE U.S., THE EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION, AND WOMEN'S ECONOMIC CITIZENSHIP, 1975-1991 Sheila Jones A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2008 Committee: Liette Gidlow, Advisor Neal G. Jesse Graduate Faculty Representative Leigh Ann Wheeler Donald Nieman ii ABSTRACT Liette Gidlow, Advisor This project examines the history of federal sexual harassment policy in the United States between 1975 and 1991. It considers the origins of sexual harassment policy in the mid-1970s and its addition to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) anti- discrimination policy in 1980. Two questions direct this study: Why and how did sexual harassment policy originate in the 1970s? How did policymakers then re-frame it once feminist activists no longer controlled the issue’s definition? This dissertation argues that sexual harassment policy originated in the 1970s because working women and second-wave feminists succeeded in framing the problem as one of women’s economic citizenship rights, or women’s right to work without being sexually harassed. Once feminists lost this influence in the 1980s, conservatives including Reagan administration officials, members of Congress, and anti-feminist activists challenged the EEOC’s policy and altered its enforcement by lessening its protections for working women in favor of employers. Several sources inform this study, including EEOC records, legal cases, congressional hearings, government documents, and scholarship on second-wave feminism and economic citizenship. It finds that, after defining sexual harassment, feminists argued for public policy to stop it.

    WOMEN AND THE LAW CONFERENCE RUTH BADER GINSBURG LECTURE SERIES 2001–2019 011219 WOMEN AND THE LAW CONFERENCE HISTORY Inaugurated in 2001, the Women and the Law Conference was the first lecture series in the western United States focusing exclusively on issues related to gender and the law. Created by Thomas Jefferson Professors Julie Greenberg, Susan Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Tiefenbrun and Susan Bisom-Rapp, and fostered by a committed group of faculty, staff and students, the first conference earned rave reviews from its attendees, including practitioners and legal academics.

  • Housing Policy in the Great Society, Part Two
    Joint Center for Housing Studies Harvard University Into the Wild Blue Yonder: The Urban Crisis, Rocket Science, and the Pursuit of Transformation Housing Policy in the Great Society, Part Two Alexander von Hoffman March 2011 W11-3 The research for this working paper was conducted with the support of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, The Ford Foundation, and the Fannie Mae Foundation. © by Alexander von Hoffman. All rights reserved. Short sections of text, not to exceed two paragraphs, may be quoted without explicit permission provided that full credit, including © notice, is given to the source. Off we go into the wild blue yonder, Climbing high into the sun Introduction Of the several large and important domestic housing and urban programs produced by Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society administration, the best-known is Model Cities. Although it lasted only from 1966 to 1974, its advocates believed Model Cities had promised a better tomorrow for America’s cities and bitterly lamented its termination—blaming Richard Nixon’s policies, diversion of funds for the Vietnam war, and the nation’s lack of commitment to social progress. Yet the legislation that created Model Cities was ambitious, contradictory, and vague. As such, it vividly expressed the idealistic impulses, currents of thought, and reactions to events that converged, however incoherently, in national urban policy of the 1960s. At the center of the fervor for domestic policy was the president of the United States, Lyndon Johnson, who hungered for dramatic new programs that would transform the country the way New Deal policies had reshaped America in his youth.

  • Costanza, Midge (1932-2010) by Linda Rapp
    Costanza, Midge (1932-2010) by Linda Rapp Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2004, glbtq, inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Political activist Midge Costanza had a long and distinguished record as a champion of gay and women's rights. Known for forthright speaking and acerbic wit, she occasionally generated controversy, but even those who disagreed with her acknowledged her firm commitment to her convictions. Constanza's parents, Philip and Concetta Granata Constanza, emigrated from Sicily to upstate New York, where they went into the sausage-making business. Margaret Costanza, who was nicknamed Midge, was born on November 28, 1932 in LeRoy, New York and grew up in Rochester. After graduating from high school and holding various clerical jobs she became the administrative assistant to a Rochester real estate developer. Through this job she became involved in many community organizations. Costanza also took an interest in local politics. Beginning as a volunteer on W. Averell Harriman's campaign for governor in 1954, she rose through the ranks of the Democratic Party, becoming the county executive director of Robert F. Kennedy's Senate campaign in 1964 and a member of the Democratic National Committee from 1972 to 1977. In 1973 Constanza ran for an at-large seat on the Rochester city council and received the largest number of votes in the election, becoming the council's first woman member. Although it was traditional for the leading vote-getter to be named mayor, the council selected a man and named Costanza to the mainly ceremonial post of vice-mayor. Costanza ran for the United State House of Representatives in 1974, but failed to unseat the Republican incumbent.

  • A TEN YEAR REPORT the Institute of Politics
    A TEN YEAR REPORT 1966-1967 to 1976-1977 The Institute of Politics John Fitzgerald Kennedy School of Government Harvard University A TEN YEAR REPORT 1966-1967 to 1976-1977 The Institute of Politics John Fitzgerald Kennedy School of Government Harvard University 1 The Institute of Politics Richard E. Neustadt, Director, 1966-1971 The urge to found an Institute of Politics had little to do with Harvard. It came, rather, from a natural concern of President Kennedy's family and friends after his death. The JFK library, al­ ready planned to house his presidential papers, was also to have been a headquarters for him when he retired from the Presidency. Now it would be not a living center focussed on him, active in the present, facing the future, but instead only an archive and museum faced to­ ward the past. The Institute was somehow to provide the living ele­ ment in what might otherwise soon turn into a "dead" memorial. Nathan Pusey, at the time Harvard's President, then took an initiative with Robert Kennedy, proposing that the Institute be made a permanent part of Harvard's Graduate School of Public Administra­ tion. The School—uniquely among Harvard's several parts—would be named for an individual, John F. Kennedy. Robert Kennedy ac­ cepted; these two things were done. The Kennedy Library Corpora­ tion, a fund-raising body charged to build the Library, contributed endowment for an Institute at Harvard. The University renamed its School the John Fitzgerald Kennedy School of Government, and created within it the Institute of Politics.
