Historical Note
A Study on the Status of Women Faculty in the School of Science at MIT: How a Committee on Women Faculty came to be established by the Dean of the School of Science, what the Committee and the Dean learned and accomplished, and recommendations for the future. MIT Faculty Newsletter , March 1999.
In 1995 the Dean of Science established a Committee to analyze the status of women faculty in the six departments in the School of Science at the Masschusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The Committee submitted a report of its findings in August, 1996 and amended reports in 1997 and 1998. The Committee discovered that junior women faculty felt well supported within their departments. In contrast to junior women, many tenured women faculty felt marginalized and excluded from a significant role in their departments. Marginalization increased as women progressed through their careers at MIT.
