Women’s advocate starts job
By Edward Klopfen stein
(Xv>f f‘rr*r&4
The University has few support services for non
traditional students, said the new women s advo
cate for the Women's Center, a
Michelle Parks
problem she hopes to netp
change.
Michelle Parks, who reported
for work Monday, said she
wants to work toward building
a network for older students or
students with children.
Parks is the Women's Cen
ter's first advocate for women
and was hired in an attempt to
better meet the basic needs of
women at the University
"The University needs to
understand that women do have children and thus
need more support." Parks said, "The problem
with that is you will not always make it to that test
You will sometimes have to miss a day or two of
class because your child has the chicken pox and
can't go to school. And there are no day-care pro
grams I know of that would tako your child."
The advocate said she also is interested in
changing the guidelines for federal financial aid.
"Students come to the University to be success
ful." she said "Getting Cs is not successful, and
single mothers can't get As and Bs by taking 12
credits”
Single mothers should have the flexibility to
take fewer credits and still lie eligible for aid. Parks
said.
"This is a big fight, but somebody has to start it
at least." she said
Parks. 2f>. is a single parent living in Amazon
Family Mousing with her two children, an eight
year-old boy and a six-year-old girl.
Coming from the University of Alaska. Anchor
age Inst year, the political science senior trans
ferred to the University because she was interest
ed in the University's law school She said she will
lx- applying for entrance next fall.
Parks was very active in Anchorage, involving
herself in everything from student government to
working on « human rights task force in the police
department She said she researched the relation
ship between women of color and the police.
The Women’s Center is currently Iming revised
by the ASUO's Women Center Restructuring Com
mittee Parks said the committee is reviewing the
implementation of all of the center's services,
including how many people should be working
in tho center’s office.
The ASUO hirer! Parks ns a three-month tempo
rary employee until the committee finishes its
revisions on the center. That is expected at the end
of the term.
According lo the AMJU. classmen stall also was
hired for the first time to provide secretarial sup
port for the office. The center previously had
work-study students filling that role.
The Women's Center does not currently have a
coordinator position The Inst to hold that position
was Hasani Kudura, whose contract ended in
August and was not renewed by the ASUO.
Parks said the committee will be deciding if
there will be a coordinator position in the future.
Having an advocate and secretary to provide
referral services, supported by work-study staff,
would create the minimum level of service until
restructuring is completed, according to the
ASUO.
Other services Parks hopes to expand include
support for the University's lesbian, gay and bisex
ual community.
As advocate, Parks will work on behalf of stu
dents and their issues, which include sexual
harassment, she said.
Parks said she hopes to see programs developed
lo help empower women.
The Women's Center, located in the basement of
the EMU in Room 3, is open from 9 a.nt, to 5 p.m.
