Description

The record group on the Commission on Women contains a wealth of materials documenting the work of the commission from the 1970s to the present. Materials include minutes, brochures and pamphlets, posters, newsletters, memoranda and correspondence, petitions, budget and financial records, etc. Topics addressed include salary equity and the Rajender Consent Decree, the early efforts to establish a Women's Study major, the establishment and administration of a campus Women's Resource Center, UMM's Women's Week (for various years beginning in 1978), women's health care needs on campus and a petition drive to hire a female physician, sexual harassment, and the efforts to address the need for child care in Morris and the Commission's relationship with the Morris Area Child Care Center (MACCC). Of special note is the scrapbook which documents Commission activities from 1972-1997.
