That the Faculty endorse the major conclusion of the Committee on the Status of Women, "that the number of women on the Faculty must be increased," and urge its officers, its department chairmen, and the members of its search committees to work toward that end; and that the Faculty urge the Dean to appoint as soon as possible a Standing Committee on Women to assist in the work of bringing more women onto the Faculty and to report periodically on its success...
...start in motion, in time for 1972 academic appointments, the procedures that will encourage the appointment of women. However, the major work outlined by the report cannot be accomplished by a vote. Increasing women's participation in Arts and Sciences will require the continued commitment of department chairmen and the Dean of the Faculty.

It will eventually require that President-designate Bok use the dignity and influence of his office to move...

We regard this as an absolutely crucial enforcement mechanism and would suggest that when the evidence submitted is unsatisfactory, ad hoe committees should themselves take an active role in trying to ascertain whether there are qualified women candidates for the open position...
...future.... We recommend to the faculty as a whole that departments be allowed to appoint in the normal way a limited number of part-time assistant, associate, and full professors. The precise number of such appointments ought properly to be a matter of negotiation between department chairmen and the Dean, but it is not our intention that, at any given moment, more than a few members of any single department would be working on a part-time basis. With regard to assistant and associate professors, we recommend that such appointments be for the usual term, though with sufficient flexibility...
