I Equality memo creates backlash at WSU
PUU.MAN. Wash
(AP) — Barbara Har
bin h suit believes the
professional < lunate for
women nt Washington
State University is trot
ter than at most universities
But the music professor had to wonder
after stie and five other women (at ultv mem
bers circulated a memo urging change in
attitudes toward women and t urriculum
Instead of the productive disc ussion she
had hoped for. I lartmch said the menu pro
voked a fwu klash
Hnrbach said the memo's i irculation led
to 75 instances of what sfie cnllc*d sexual
harassment. She reported receiving several
anonymous notes and harassing telephone
calls
Still, she and other women give the uni
versity passing marks for promoting gender
equity But they say there is still a long way
to go
"I think that proixihiy no university is ich
ill for women." cell biologist Margaret
Si helling said. "Women are under-repre
sented in any group you look at WSU, how
ever. isn't at the Ixittom of the tsirrel
After I lari Mich reported the response to the
memo. Music and Theater Arts Director Erich
I .ear issued his own memorandum
"I've never found out who did it," Ijaar said
of the response to Harbnch's memo "It 's one
of the worst things that has ever hnpjiened in
tfiat setting and there's no recourse except to
declare the awfulness of what lias been done "
Sim e llarlxu h sent her memo in Oi toiler,
she said some progress is noticeable. The Ini -
nity plans a "gender i aucus" this fall to con
tinue talks
"WSU is very concerned about the prob
lem." Hartwell said in a recent interview, "It
is slow, hut at least it's not glacial."
Washington State President Sam Smith is
given credit for helping to increase the num
bers of women in key administrative and fac
ulty positions during his eight-year tenure
Women make up 32 percent of the upper
level administration at Washington State, up
from 14 percent in
Sallie (iiffen, vie e president for business
affairs, is the highest ranking woman in
Smith's administration. Others ini hide Sal
ly Savage, assistant to the president and legal
counsel, and Ernestine Madison, vice provost
for human relations and resources
"We go out and try to recruit women,"
Smith said ret enllv "We've been working to
take advantage of the fai t that it is just moral
ly logical to recruit everyone, regardless of
gender, and it's good business sense ”
While improvements are being made in
administrative and faculty ranks, staff women
continue to experience sexual discrimination,
administrative assistant l.isa McMullen said.
"When there's a situation where sexual
harassment is going on with faculty women,
it's also going to he happening to staff
women." she said Women in lower-echelon
jobs, such as secretaries and clerks, were not
asked if they had experienced gender dis
crimination w hen Hnrbach raised the issue
among the faculty.
"An individual staff woman would never
have brought a charge." she said. "But when
a faculty woman brought it up. it would have
been an opportunity. It's a class issue,"
Some women say they have never encoun
tered gender barriers, while others have hit
ter experiences.
"WSU is one of the few pianos that will con
sider two people." said physicist Margaret
M Mumane, whose hiring included her bus
land and research partner. Henry C. Kapteyn.
"It's easy to pay Up service (to gender equi
ty). but it’s not done here."
