Citing his own increasing concern over the lack of female faculty in the sciences, Dean of the Faculty Jeremy R. Knowles has initiated a new task force to work with individual departments and actively recruit women for tenured positions.
Franklin says she has confronted Knowles with her concerns and found him unresponsive.
"When [Dean of the Faculty] Jeremy R. Knowles proposed the campaign, he had a line item in it about the international internship program," says Paul M. Weissman '52. "My wife and I saw this and said, this is what we want to fund, and we jumped on it."
"In almost every talk [Knowles] gives or has given on the campaign, he mentions the Weissman program," Paul Weissman says. "It's being talked about from the top all the way down. I'm convinced that this is a commitment on their part."
"It's important in many of the sciences and social sciences that faculty should be in the swing of things," writes Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Jeremy R. Knowles in an e-mail, but "the primary activity is teaching and scholarship here."
