Title IX
continued from page 1
of engineers.
In an effort to increase the num
ber of women involved in math and
science, Wyden is leading a push to
use Title IX federal statutes as a
guiding principle in hiring, tenure,
scholarships and lab space. Title IX
laws were enacted in 1972 to pro
hibit gender-based discrimination in
any educational program or federal
ly funded activity, and are typically
associated with the dramatic rise of
women’s athletics.
The number of women majoring
in math and science at the Univer
sity reflects low national trends. In
fall 2002, women made up about 40
percent of chemistry students, 19
percent of physics students and
only 14 percent of computer and in
formation science students. There
were 254 students studying math at
the University and only 76 of them
were women.
Mathematics Professor Marie Vit
ulli is the only tenured woman fac
ulty member in the mathematics
department. Vitulli said she doesn’t
think there is any conscious dis
crimination against women pursu
ing careers in math and science, but
added that she thinks the scarcity of
women is still a serious problem.
“There still seems to be a glass
ceiling,” Vitulli said. “What happens
is that the higher up you go, the per
centage of women decreases.”
Chemistry Professor Geraldine
Richmond said researchers should
be concerned about educating a di
verse population of scientists that
includes women and minorities.
Richmond, who testified in a Senate
sub-committee hearing last year,
said that Title IX could be used as a
tool to open doors for women scien
tists in a way that would only
strengthen scientific institutions.
“Title IX has been extremely im
portant in sports, but the sports are
na is very different than the science
arena,” Richmond said. “We have to
be careful if we try and use it to en
force equality in science.”
To pursue a career in science,
physics graduate student Sasha
Tavenner Kruger said she thinks
women have to be especially stub
born and tenacious. Tavenner
Kruger said she thinks there are
cultural biases in place that pre
vent women from pursuing careers
in science, including pressures to
raise a family.
“I think the reasons for the gen
der imbalance are mostly historical,
certainly there is no active dispar
agement now,” Tavenner Kruger
said. “But a generation ago, women
were trained to be scared of the
word ‘physics’ and the word ‘math.’”
Senior instructor and chemistry
Assistant Department Head Julie
Haack said she knows of situations
where women have been disadvan
taged. But Haack said she was nev
er discouraged from pursuing a ca
reer in science.
“For me, as a scientist, I didn’t
perceive any real barriers,” she said.
“Academically there was no shying
away from the hard science cours
es; I was encouraged to pursue sci
ence and math.”
Mentoring is one of the most im
portant factors that can lead to pro
ductive careers in science for both
women and men, Haack said. Shar
ing knowledge about how to apply
for research grants, what courses to
take and how to publish scientific
papers is essential for aspiring sci
entists, she added.
“Not enough mentoring happens
in both sexes,” Haack said. “It’s hard
to know what is gender-based versus
other types of factors.”
