Alxiul SO women students gathered at a rally
Thursday in front of Johnson Hall, Insisting that
planned program ruts are sexist.
Holly Stognnr, co-director of Women in Transi
tion. said the rally was organized to call attention
to the numtxtrs of female students hurt by the
cuts in the colloges of education, human develop
ment and performance, among others.
According to Stognor's statistics, tho programs
the University intends to cut will affect far more
women students than men. For oxamplc, the ratio
of womon to men in tho soon-to-be-eliminatod el
ementary education program is 5-to-l; In tho en
tire education program, thorn are twice as many
womon students as men.
Tho pattern continues in other doomed pro
grams — tho ratio approaches 2-to-l In tho Col
lege of Human Development and Performance, 4
and 5-to-1 in Individual disciplines such as hu
man services and health education.
Stegnor took issue with tho fact that tho law
school, facing accreditation problems for short
comings in its programs, was not touched by the
proposed cuts and has twice as many male stu
donts as women. Art education, one of the few ar
chitecture programs with a majority of women
students in an otherwise male-dominated school,
was cut as well.
"We’re doing this to bring to the attention of
the administration the effect on women's lives
those cuts aro going to have,” Stegner said. “I
think it's basically an oversight. It involves rac
ism. sexism, ageism, homophobia, those kinds of
things.”
Sheila Shekel. ASUO co-president, told those
in attendance that the only way to fight the pro
gram cuts is to write letters to legislators and ad
ministrators.
"Attending rallies is an important thing." she
said. "But ovoryone here noeds to take this as a
challenge and take the extra half-hour to write
their legislator and tell them about how you foe!.
"Ask thorn If thoy'ro as mad as we are and why
wo'ro not sooing that.”
Tonlja Swires, a student art education major
parent with throe children, said tho cuts are but
one way poor and minority students are being
forced out of school. Swires cited cuts in finan
cial aid and increases in tuition and fees as other
barriers to education.
