Committees

Salary Equity / Action Committee

Co-Chairs:

Anne Wright: awright@arc.arizona.edu

Tannis Gibson: gibsont@email.arizona.edu

Maureen Kelly: mekelly@ag.arizona.edu

Margaret Wilder: mwilder@u.arizona.edu

The roles of the Action sub-committee are1) to take action regarding and advocate for--if possible or necessary--perceived problems brought to AWF; and 2) to publicize and raise campus awareness regarding gender issues and inequities of women faculty, staff, and students. In this regard, the Action subcommittee coordinates its activities and concerns with the AWF Millennium Project subcommittee, and thus with MROC. The present focus of our committee is gender harassment, and contributing to the development of mechanisms for dealing with this widespread problem, thus improving the "climate" of the University.

Family Care Issues Committee

Caryn Jung & Darci Thompson

The Graduate and Professional Student subcommittee seeks to increase interaction between female graduate students and faculty mentors and to serve as a voice for students within AWF. As part of this endeavor, the subcommittee will be an active part of the Spring AWF event, the Research Symposium on Women in Higher Education. We invite graduate students and faculty to present current research on the status of women in the academy.

Millnium Task Force Committee

Chair:
Maureen Kelly
mekelly@ag.arizona.edu
As co-sponsors of the Millennium Report, AWF is taking an active role in ensuring that the needs and desires of the members are being met.  This taskforce will act as a conduit between the AWF membership and the various Millennium Oversight groups that have been formed to see that the recommendations of the Millennium Project Report are implemented.

Academic Professionals Committee

Chair: open
As the issues of equity are clarified and refined, the status of academic professionals emerges as a critical concern for women on campus. Women more commonly seek and retain non-tenured positions for a myriad of reasons, but many issues of equity are involved.

Minority Women's Concerns Committee

Chairs:
Toni Griego Jones

Patti Montiel Overall
overall@u.arizona.edu

Goals of the Minority Women's Concerns subcommittee are to facilitate communication among minority faculty, to bring issues of concern before the University community, and to work for a productive and supportive working environment for all faculty.
