We propose a senior Women's Studies line for the Director with the same contractual obligations and administrative duties as a department chair. The person to fill that line, recruited either from within the campus or from outside, would teach courses such as Feminist Theory and would contribute to the MALS program. 2.3 Special hire of women full professors . The objective, as discussed below, is to make more senior women available as committee chairs, as potential administrators, and as role models and mentors for associate and assistant professors. One of the lines should be set aside for a Women's Studies Director if there is no internal candidate for that position.
Gender becomes an implicit factor in job descriptions and pay scales.
3.1 Reclassification . However, it is an arduous and sometimes futile process to get pay increased by getting a job title changed. The fact that UMD uses UM-AA's inappropriate labels makes reclassification more difficult. 3.2 Staff salary . Provide continuing attention to salary equity.
