...major conclusion" mentioned in the first resolution-"that the number of women on the Faculty must be increased"-refers to guidelinesrecommended in the Committee's report: a proposal that the Faculty strive for a percentage of women in its tenured ranks equal to the percentage of women receiving Ph.'D's from Harvard ten years ago (9.6 per cent) and a percentage of women in the nontenured ranks equal to the percentage receiving Ph.D.'s from Harvard today (19 per cent...
...Bynum and Michael Walzer. The report is the first occasion on which the Faculty has addressed itself to the equity of its de facto exclusion of women from membership and its prohibition of part time graduate study. We wholeheartedly endorse the main recommendation of the report, that the Faculty strive to hire more women in its tenured and non-tenured ranks. The goal of filling 9.6 per cent of tenured positions, and 19 per cent of non-tenured positions with women, is modest, reasonable, and a target which should be pursued with good faith and speed. It is equally important...

This recommendation should not be taken to imply that departments with large female enrollments and large percentages of female Ph.D. recipients need strive only to meet the University-wide guidelines. Unless such departments make a serious effort to hire women in proportion to the numbers they educate, the numbers of women on the faculty will not increase rapidly or significantly. Much here depends on the Dean's efforts to encourage departmental hiring and on the firmness with which the Permanent Committee on Women requires reports of progress...
