Harvard's Divinity School has a six-year-old women's studies program that critics say may be just the sort of island Lerner described. The program brings to the school five "research-resource associates," women doing doctoral or post-doctoral research in theology with a feminist perspective. The women teach courses, do research and supposedly encourage regular faculty to take up women's studies interests and incorporate them into the regular curriculum. After a Ford Foundation-funded study of the first five years of the program, the Divinity faculty this year voted overwhelmingly to continue the program for eight...
...order to keep the College's women's studies program from becoming ancillary to the undergraduate curriculum, the Faculty committee on women's studies hopes not only to drum up new courses entirely about women in departments and the Core Curriculum, but also to encourage Faculty members to include information about women in other courses...
...women to an existing course. Abigail J. Stewart, acting director of Radcliffe's Data Resource and Research Center, says Harvard faculty proposals for Mellon money have come in rather slowly--two applications for the fall deadline and eight for the spring. She points out that response to a new program is often tepid, but some Faculty may just not be interested. Moreover, the monev can be used only for research in the two Radcliffe facilities. Stewart says research proposals have come from both junior and senior Faculty, but so far all applicants have been women...

K-School students--many of them mid-career bureaucrats studying areas involving problem-solving--began to debate the controversy through meetings and discussions rather than protest. Their position had initially mirrored that of the undergraduate protesters. But to many students in the one-year MPA program, resolving the controversy within the year became a matter of pride. The K-School students went out of their way to negotiate the issue...

Some departments, like the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures, have felt the affects of the drop sooner and more intensely than others. Eckehard Simon, chairman of the German Department, explains that he and Rosovsky worked together this year to adjust the Germanic curriculum so that the graduate department can continue to function with only three students. Under one plan...
