institutional changes such as part-time appointments would further increase the number of qualified women who could pursue academic careers.
"It must be emphasized, however, that women should not be assigned automatically to part-time positions," the report adds.
GSAS women, the report charges, "feel that, because of their sex, every stage of graduate education is more difficult for them: admission to graduate school, competition for financial aid and teaching fellowships, and especially job placement."
The recommended committee-as proposed by WFG-would include two female Faculty members, two male Faculty members, one female research associate or fellow, two administrators (one male, one female), one female graduate student, one Radcliffe undergraduate, and one Harvard undergraduate.
"The Women's Faculty Group hopes that wide distribution of its preliminary report will stimulate individual departments to examine whether their recruitment procedures are functioning to locate and hire qualified female scholars," Mrs. Bynum said.
