Making use of Title IX: Women in science, engineering, technology, and mathematics
In April 2006, the Clayman Institute hosted a closed-door two day think tank on the application of Title IX to science, engineering, technology and mathematics (STEM). This think tank was attended by 25 leading members of the academic science community from across the USA, plus representatives of the Government Accountability Office, the National Science Foundation, the National Research Council, and the office of Senator Barbara Boxer. We will be using this page to post information and resources linked to, and arising from, that meeting.
Following our Title IX think tank in April, the Clayman Institute offers this list of most pressing issues facing women faculty in science and engineering, and proposals for solving some of them.
