AAUP report on faculty pay 'too general' The annual American Association of University Professors (AAUP) faculty salary survey holds much useful information, according to Einar Hardin, associate director and professor of labor and industrial relations, but it could be better. "For 20 years, the AAUP has reported officially this information in the AAUP Bulletin," Hardin said. "It's the annual report on the economic status of the profession. " Hardin said the information in · the report, which polls over 1,000 colleges and universities for their average faculty compensations, is accurate but partly misleading because it is not detailed enough. "The the average compensation for all ranks combined," Hardin said, "not rank by rank. report shows "I'm convinced that the participating universities do not want that information (rank by rank) revealed," he added. Hardin said the AAUP has the rank by that if the information, but rank organization published this, many schools would drop out of the survey.

The CNA car insurance program offered by the Walters Agency would be studied by the subcommittee, but the fact that an MSU group was conSidering the CNA insurance with many other insurance programs did not mean the university had endorsed the program.

MSU Faculty News Vol. 1, No. 32 ----------------------------------------- Michigan State University ,July 14, 1970, " Omnibus survey uncovers splits and agreements in 'U' By DEBORAH KRELL Interim Associate Editor Surprising correlations - and some as yet - unexplained splits - exist among the administrators, faculty, graduate student and undergraduates who participated in the MSU Omnibus Survey winter term, survey results reveal. The survey polled 2500 students, 500 faculty'and 500 administrators on their attitudes toward the purpose of the university, the operations of the university, participation in and perceptions of the university and was conducted by the Urban Survey Research Unit of the Bureau of Social Science Research in the College of Social Science. Philip Marcus, coordinator of the survey and associate professor of sociology, said that one bit of data the survey revealed is that slogans - like "student power" - don't mean anything; it depends on the issues you're talking about." To illustrate, he pointed out a survey question polling opinion on who actually has the most influence in various university policy decisions, like chOOSing department chairmen, deans, the president, creating new programs, and on campus student housing regulations. In any of the areas presented in the question, student influence was indicated by the survey participants at no more than 7%. (that being in determining off - campus student housing regulations). It was mostly regarded as 0%. The survey report states, "It is hoped that this first report will stimulate enough thinking about the basic data that some university policy - making and formulations can begin for the coming year. And Marcus added, "We're trying to fmd out where we need more communication and say 'here are areas where we can begin to ·work..' ' In the first section of the survey report, the purpose of the university, results showed there is overall general agreement among the four groups on the abstract purposes of the university. Administrators, the report states, tend to have a relatively broader conception of the university than the faculty or graduate students, and that undergraduates tend to be more specific than the other three groups. This indicates that administrators will be least amendable to rapid and specific innovation because, as a group, they must consider a relatively wide range of consequences. Continued on page 4 Administrative 'w-orkshirts' --watermelon? It's like a page out of Esquire. Suddenly, instead of shirt after shirt of white and demure little dark colored ties and prudent suit jackets, we have color on the fourth floor of the Administration Bldg. and it just won't quit. Bobby J. Ballard, normally mild - mannered administrative assistant for business and finance, strides by in a screamer of a shirt. "What color do you call that, Bobby?" "Watermelon," he said, and grinned. And Jack Breslin, executive vice president and secretary to the board of trustees, showed up the other day in a shirt that exactly matched his baby blues. Even President Wharton has succumbed. "I do wear colored shirts on occasion," he said. "And my suits tend to be fashionable." Mrs. Clifton Wharton said she approves of her husband's fashion sense - especially in ties. "His ties are strictly his own," she said, "and I think he has excellent taste." But that's not all. Chuckling secretaries all over the Administration Bldg. commented on h?w their bosses have gradually edged toward wild abandon in shirt colors and that their ties are inching wider day by day - and stripey - er. But the trend to color and individuality is most evident where one would least expect it - in the stern confines of the University Business Office - not the place for frivolity and the last bastion of prudence, one would think. But then vice president for Business and Finance Roger Wilkinson bursts lhrough his door ablaze in stripes, checks or wild colors, depending on what he feels like. But he says his red shirt is not necessarily indicative of MSU's financial condition. ... -MSU Faclilty News, July 1-4; 1~70 Some MSU females discuss discrimination By BEVERLY TWITCHELL and AUDREY SHANE More than 300 years ago, one Duke of Newcastle is quoted as having said: "A very wise woman is a very foolish thing." The question being asked today - particularly by women - is: How widely is this 300 - year - old opinion still shared? Or, at least: What are the manifestations of that opinion? Here at MSU the Provost's office released in April a statistical report concerning the status and number of professional women on campus, based on a February request from the Provost for "data which might be studied to find whether discrimination against women exists on the campus .... " * * * THAT REPORT showed that of 2,097 faculty members on the tenure track, 221 (or 10.5 per cent) were women. It alSo revealed that women comprised 4.9 per cent of the full professors, 10.9 per cent of the associate professors, 13.6 per cent of the assistant professors and 29.2 per cent of the instructors. More than half (52.3 per cent) of the temporary faculty and 20.1 per cent of the graduate assistants were women, according to the report. Sixty - seven per cent of the faculty men under tenure rules were tenured, while 48 per cent of the women were tenured. Of the 16 female faculty members interviewed by the Faculty News spring term (more than 7 per cerit of the female faculty covered by the report), only one said she felt discriminated against at MSU. Two others said specifically that they felt there was discrimination here, though they themselves had not been affected. The others said they had felt no personal discrimination, but spoke in general or societal terms. Women have, according to Rose Hayden, instructor in romance languages, "a set of negative expectations to overcome and a set of positive expectations to fulfIll." Society is arranged, Edna Rogers, instructor of social science said, "in such a way that we do not expect or provide for women to the extent that we do for men, to have those career aspirations, those kinds of goals." Social definitions begin from Day One, Mrs. Rogers says, in, for example, the tone of voice used for girl babies versus boy babies, and throughout the socialization process as boys are encouraged to be more aggressive and competitive than girls are. Ellen Mickiewicz, associate professor of political science, said the solution for ending what is called "discrimination" against women, is to socialize girls early in terms of fields traditionally left to men . ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• "A woman shouldn't have to sacrifice her home life just because she's a professor. Presumably, she could bring more to the home life because she is a professor. " •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• "Each individual should be allowed to develop what he or she can," she said. Dorothy Arata, professor of human development and associate director of spoke of women being socialized against developing Honors College, competencies, and Mary Vrrginia Moore, chairman of business law and office adrnirustration, said that women are counseled out of graduate programs in business and are not encouraged to go on to college teaching. Vera Borosage, associate professor of family and child sciences, spoke of emotional conditioning of girls from childhood to the idea that they will be married and thus will not need to work. Mrs. Borosage also spoke of "a long - term built in attitude of male superiority" and the conditioning of women to a subordinate role. Or as one southern friend puts it: "Keep 'em barefoot and pregnant." * * * MRS. LOU ALONSO, associate professor of elementary and special education, said she believed that many women have been taught that they shouldn't compete and that men also suggest this. She said their attitude is that it's all right to be a professional so long as one isn't too dedicated because this suggests less interest in one's husband and family. Yet all of the married women interviewed said they did not fmd it difficult to integrate the roles of mother, wife and professional. Several, including Mrs. Alonso and Mrs. Ruth Useem, credit their husbands for their cooperation nd support. " A woman shouldn't have to sacrifice her home life just because she's a professor," Mrs. Mickiewicz said. "Presumably, me could bring more to the home life because she is a professor." Aggressive and competitive traits in women and men were discussed often. An article entitled 'The Odds Against Women" in "Change" Magazine, November - December 1969, presented the problem as one in which women can't win either way they go: " "Alice Rossi, using data from a survey of forty thousand men and women of the class of 1961 three years after graduation, found that ambitious women who ............. ••• .. ···First In a senes ..................... . aspire to careers meet subtle and overt forms of punishment rather than encouragement and support. In her words," the article states, "if a woman graduate student shows commitment and independence, faculty men call her an 'unfeminine bitch,' while women graduate st udents who are quiet and unassertive are described by their male professors as 'lacking amb ition . ., * * * AT LEAST four of the women spoke of an analogy between the women's liberation movement and the civil rights movement. Mary Gardner, associate professor of journalism, said that "the only thing worse than being a woman (today) is being a black woman." • •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• "Keep 'em barefoot and pregnant. " ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Ruth Hamilton, assistant professor of sociology, who is both black and female , agrees that "there are parallels to be drawn between the women's movement and the black movement." , But, she said, "I have difficulty separating the variables of being a black and being a woman. I haven't consciously encountered it (prejudice) yet , but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist." The usual pattern for improving the minority lot is to do away with identifying characteristics in three generations, Edna Rogers said, but "you do not do away with black skin in three generations." What is involved , then, is changing evaluations of that biological trait, she said. Engineering Equal Opportunity Program: 'Action-orient~d' faculty seek out blacks MStJ FacUltY NeWS, ruly 14: f~o By GENE RIETFORS Editor, Faculty Ne'WS that They prefer to describe themselves as "action - oriented," so it seemed only logical the engineering faculty members were not satisfied just to study the problem when they set out to attract more black ~tudents to the College of Engineering. Today, after two years of an' effort c a 11 e d the Engineering Equal Opportunity Program (EEOP), some 60 black undergraduates are emolled in Michigan State's engineering college (there were eight two years ago), and that figure will grow to more than 100 this fall. But numbers alone are of little value, says Robert Summitt, one of the founders ofEEOP. Summitt, an associate professor of metallurgy, mechanics and materials science, admits that he's an "unconventional" engineer. And despite a deeply rooted social awareness, he takes a hard, practical view of EEOP. , "For the past few years, we've seen industry anxious to hire blacks," he says, "often just because they're black. But human nature being what it is, this isn't going to last forever. "We have a responsibility to' blacks - just as we do to all students - to that are provide them with skills useful," he adds. "Our society is becoming more and more technologically oriented. It's clear that engineering skills will be in growing demand, and it is these areas that represent excellent chances for long - term job satisfaction for blacks.~' That, as Summitt sees it, is the reason for EEOP. * * * FOLLOWING INFORMAL discussions, a faculty committee was named by L. W. Von Tersch, dean of engineering, and the program was launched in the fall of 1968. Members of the committee were Summitt; F. W. Bakker - Arkema, Robert Summitt, associate professor of metallurgy, mechanics and materials science; George Van Dosen, assistant dean of engineering student affairs and Bruce Wilkinson, ~ociate professor of ehcmical engineering. discuss the Engineering Photo by Richard Wesley Equal Opportunity Program (EEOP) over a fuel ceO.

Wilkinson takes over this summer as chairman of the group. for Summitt . Faculty When the program began, 10 or 12 students were expected, Van Dusen recalls, but 30 enrolled. ' response exceeded expectations, too. Donald Montgomery, a co-developer of EEOP and chairman of metallurgy, mechanics and materials science, says that he had hoped for fIve or six faculty participants. ''To our surprise, more than 20 became involved," he said. Faculty were the key to the program, since the planners wanted students to be assigned to faculty on a one - to - one basis. They accomplished this by placing a faculty member's laboratory, where the student learned about research, and received help both personal and academic, all the time earning money. student in a to represent "Someone had this university on an individual basis to these kids," says Summitt. "There is ' no problem with their abilities, it's just a matter of developing their confidence in the University and in us."

The "average compensation" letter grade for each institution that appears in the report turns out to be the lowest letter grade received by each institution in the rank by rank rating. For instance, if the average compensations among an institution's faculty ranks were: professor B; associate professor, A; assistant professor, A; and instructor, A; that institution's average compensation rating published in the survey would be B. Thus, Hardin said, the survey is not useful for a person looking for a job because there is no way to use the published information to differentiate among the four ranks. ''It would be more useful to the faculty and the board of trustees to compare field by field and rank by rank - among where the University stands better - one's competition , like within the Big Ten," Hardin said.
