The initiative resulted in the creation of two task forces to generate proposals for the advancement of women at Harvard. Summers pledged $50 million to implement the task forces’ suggestions—a diverse array of programs that include day care for faculty members’ children, targeted recruitment of women and minority professors, and summer research opportunities for female as well as male undergraduates.
