The issues WAGE cares about are fairness, one standard for advancement, and equity in distribution of resources, issues that directly impact all university faculty, students and staff. People not connected with the University of California express disbelief when they learn of the many examples of egregious injustice and dirty tactics perpetrated by the University, an institution we all expect to lead universities in this country in enlightened personnel practices.

For a single oppressed individual, the struggle seems overwhelming.
WAGE is ready to assist with information and emotional support women who have pressed for equity.
