Introduction . . . . . - -. . . . . . . . . Thisproject was designed to be a two part study o.'f women, on Fairfield's campus. The first part was aimed at examining - - the current status of female students and faculty. The second part was a survey of .women's topics included .in the curriculum. In addition, .to this, a .database was created which , . assembled all the information-gathered. The conclusions arrived at came. were based on a number of different sources. Course catalogs were studied, 'faculty lists used,' and there was an interview conducted with' Phyllis Fitzpatrick, the head of management information. A questionnaire was also sent out. to university faculty, both. full and part time. Using all of these. tools, a history of ' female students, faculty, and courses fn' the.c,urriculumw ere . . compiled. . The current status of all these topics was also; . . determined., In general, there has been significant pr0gres.s" made in the, twenty years that wdmen ' have been here at Fairfield. In many areas, still more 'could be. done-. . . . . .. ' . . . . . 11. . History of Women at Fairfield University','. ~ . . . . . .. . A. Faculty The first time a woman was introduced. to the Fairfield University 'community was in 1963. Fairfield hired Dr. Joan Walters in the Economics department. Dr. Dorothy Shaf fer was also appointed at that time in the Math and Computer Science departments. The number of women faculty grew, especially in 1970 when the school of nursing was opened. By 1976, twenty-six women made up 17.5% of the full time undergraduate staff. The percentage has been growing steadily since then, but at a very ,slow rate of only 1.5% per year. Chart number one demonstrates this creeping pace in relation to the amount of male faculty. As is obvious, the men far outnumber the'women. Currently, there are fifty-seven full time females, which account for 38% of the faculty,. . . B. Stu.dents . . Female students were first admitted to the University in 1970. The School of Nursing was the major force behind this, but women were permitted to' enroll in all the undergraduate programs.. The first degrees awarded to women were in 1972,'to. four students who had transferred in from other schools. From 197.0 to 19.7 8. '; female undergradu'ate: enrollment quickly increased. chart number two shows how it finally surpassed male enrollment in 1979. since then, women have been a clear majority in the undergraduate schools. Chart number three shows the dramatic increase in degreks .cokferred. from 1972 to the present. his is a break down of the degrees. earned as each class with respect to mdn and woken.. For example, in 1979 female enrollment exceeded male enrollment. , Four years later, '1983, the number of degrees given to women rose substantially over the amount given to men. 1984 once again saw an increase. in male graduates, but . . .for the past six years females have continued to earn more degrees from the university. C. Women's Studies , " ~ i ~ hytea'rs after women were admitted, the first female oriented courses were lis,ted in the course catalog. There were two of them: Women in Literature, and ~odern Women ., Writers. Courses such as Sociology of Occupations and Professions stressed various topics of concern to women. In the late eighties two more courses were add.ed, Feminist Theology and Inequality in,America. A number of new courses have been offered since, but until recently there were not , many options. These course offerings seemed to follow a particular pattern of offering courses that followed political and social . trends.. For example,,in 1968 shortly after the civil- rights - , movement, several black history courses were offered.. In - - ., 1972, a few years after Woodstock, a' psychology course in Drugs and Behavior was offered, The women's studies courses . came sdon after the women's movement. While these classes were being offered, .there was a definite'point of interest in the course catalog. ', Since before women were admitted, the course catalog had described . , . . 1.: the Bachelor of Science degree a s one t h a t was firmly grounded , i n the l i b e r a l arts t o develop both "the-man and the c i t i z e n . " A t the t i m e , t h i s w a s appropriate since it w a s 'an a l l male' school. In 1970 however, when women were .allowed i n t o a l l undergraduate programs, t h i s wording was not changed. Perhaps t h i s w a s because a Bachelor o f Science degree- was considered .' "too techn.icall' f o r women., or it was j u s t an. oversight., . . on the U n i v e r s i t y ' s p a r t . In any case, "the man and the c i t i z e n " continues t o appear i n every catalog u n t i l 1979, when women had been here nearly a decade. Coincidentally, t h i s w a s a l s o the .f.i'rst year t h a t females 0utnumbere.d males i n the school. 111.' Current status of Women at Fairfield University . . .. . . . A.' Faculty , . . . -. .As stated earlier, thirty-eight percent of'the full, time undergraduate faculty, is female and there- are fif.ty-seven in all, half.of which are tenured. Many of these teachers have been appointed within the past few years. Almost fifty percent have only been here since 1987, Apparently, turnover has been a significant problem with wdmen. All bf the women have..ad vanced degrees, yet seek to hold low faculty ranks. These issues will be addressed later in the Database section, since this is where the information was compiled. .B. Students . . Female students now make up 55% of the undergraduate population. There are'l,599 .women and 1,328 men enrolled in - all three schools.. Probably due to the fact that women have been a majority for so long, there is a'growing awareness of them and their needs on campus. In 1987' the Women's Resource Center.was formed, along with its standin.g committee, The ~esource Center is a small-section .of the library that contains a collection of booksand materials solely devoted to women. The Women's Resource Center Standing Committee not only manages the Center, but organizes -events to increase the awareness of women on. campus. . . This group is primarily made up of faculty and administrative personnel, with two student representatives. In. 1989, a . . F student organization' was formed called ,the women's Issues . .. Community. W. I. C. meets weekly 'to discuss the issues that , , . , pertain directly to female students, Despite the new interest and concern for the female . . . majority, it is interesting to note that at 'the recent' dedication ceremony for the new chapel, women. were not own curriculums. permitted to be at ' the alter. This was not a University policy.,; but one held ' by ,the Bishop. Because of this, the , .. female' ~ssiitant Chaplain did not attend the.-mass.. The status: of women has definitely improved in many respects, but needs . . to continue in other areas. . . , I C. Women's Studies The University greatly expanded the number ,of women's courses that were offered this year, In total, there were five new additions to the curriculum In a variety of disciplines*. In English, there are.'new'classesin Women and Fiction.,.'a nd Topics and Techniques for .Women.W riters. The history department now offers Feminism in America, as well as The Female Experience: Excellent Women, Deviant Women. The . , .. final class is a soc.iology class entitled Sex .and Gender . . Roles. .: . . One loss to the curriculum was Feminist Theology. One possible reason for this is the fact that the last professor of this class moved on to a position at another University. Perhaps the class could have been taught by another member of the Religious Studies department, especially since several people mentioned that they included feminist theology in their .. , . .. <,: ; . . : . . . . . . , . . . . . . . .

Women's Topics in the Curriculum .. . . Five Hundred Seventy-one questionnaires were sent out to both full and part time faculty. Of the Ninety-One returned, Forty-four where from women and Forty-seven from men. This -. represents.fifty-one percent of female full-time undergraduate faculty and twenty-eight percent- of.. male . full-time . . . . .. .. . . undergraduate faculty. The topic responses covered a very broad range of areas. some were as specific as "Feminist Models of,Godt',o thers as broad as' "Gender Issues",. The r-esults of the questionnaire'were compiled in the database using the faculty survey form (See following page). This form is very simi.lar in design to the questionnaire. Report number five is the aggregate list of all women's topics taught in the curriculum as reported' on the surveys, including. time devoted to each. This is listed by department (Appendix . . ' E). Reports nine and ten break down this information into ' . male/female responses respectively. (Appendices F and G). w . Report six gives an indication of faculty .response as' '. far as their feelings about future change. Their response to the question "Do you foresee any changes.,in your. approach?" was entered into the database accord5ng..to the: following replies: no, could do more, more will be done, open to . . suggestions, and possible new'course. . , . . , . . . . . .. .

Introduction . . . . . - -. . . . . . . . . Thisproject was designed to be a two part study o.'f women, on Fairfield's campus. The first part was aimed at examining - - the current status of female students and faculty. The second part was a survey of .women's topics included .in the curriculum. In addition, .to this, a .database was created which , . assembled all the information-gathered. The conclusions arrived at came. were based on a number of different sources. Course catalogs were studied, 'faculty lists used,' and there was an interview conducted with' Phyllis Fitzpatrick, the head of management information. A questionnaire was also sent out. to university faculty, both. full and part time. Using all of these. tools, a history of ' female students, faculty, and courses fn' the.c,urriculumw ere . . compiled. . The current status of all these topics was also; . . determined., In general, there has been significant pr0gres.s" made in the, twenty years that wdmen ' have been here at Fairfield. In many areas, still more 'could be. done-. . . . . .. ' . . . . . 11. . History of Women at Fairfield University','. ~ . . . . . .. . A. Faculty The first time a woman was introduced. to the Fairfield University 'community was in 1963. Fairfield hired Dr. Joan Walters in the Economics department. Dr. Dorothy Shaf fer was also appointed at that time in the Math and Computer Science departments. The number of women faculty grew, especially in 1970 when the school of nursing was opened. By 1976, twenty-six women made up 17.5% of the full time undergraduate staff. The percentage has been growing steadily since then, but at a very ,slow rate of only 1.5% per year. Chart number one demonstrates this creeping pace in relation to the amount of male faculty. As is obvious, the men far outnumber the'women. Currently, there are fifty-seven full time females, which account for 38% of the faculty,. . . B. Stu.dents . . Female students were first admitted to the University in 1970. The School of Nursing was the major force behind this, but women were permitted to' enroll in all the undergraduate programs.. The first degrees awarded to women were in 1972,'to. four students who had transferred in from other schools. From 197.0 to 19.7 8. '; female undergradu'ate: enrollment quickly increased. chart number two shows how it finally surpassed male enrollment in 1979. since then, women have been a clear majority in the undergraduate schools. Chart number three shows the dramatic increase in degreks .cokferred. from 1972 to the present. his is a break down of the degrees. earned as each class with respect to mdn and woken.. For example, in 1979 female enrollment exceeded male enrollment. , Four years later, '1983, the number of degrees given to women rose substantially over the amount given to men. 1984 once again saw an increase. in male graduates, but . . .for the past six years females have continued to earn more degrees from the university. C. Women's Studies , " ~ i ~ hytea'rs after women were admitted, the first female oriented courses were lis,ted in the course catalog. There were two of them: Women in Literature, and ~odern Women ., Writers. Courses such as Sociology of Occupations and Professions stressed various topics of concern to women. In the late eighties two more courses were add.ed, Feminist Theology and Inequality in,America. A number of new courses have been offered since, but until recently there were not , many options. These course offerings seemed to follow a particular pattern of offering courses that followed political and social . trends.. For example,,in 1968 shortly after the civil- rights - , movement, several black history courses were offered.. In - - ., 1972, a few years after Woodstock, a' psychology course in Drugs and Behavior was offered, The women's studies courses . came sdon after the women's movement. While these classes were being offered, .there was a definite'point of interest in the course catalog. ', Since before women were admitted, the course catalog had described . , . . 1.: the Bachelor of Science degree a s one t h a t was firmly grounded , i n the l i b e r a l arts t o develop both "the-man and the c i t i z e n . " A t the t i m e , t h i s w a s appropriate since it w a s 'an a l l male' school. In 1970 however, when women were .allowed i n t o a l l undergraduate programs, t h i s wording was not changed. Perhaps t h i s w a s because a Bachelor o f Science degree- was considered .' "too techn.icall' f o r women., or it was j u s t an. oversight., . . on the U n i v e r s i t y ' s p a r t . In any case, "the man and the c i t i z e n " continues t o appear i n every catalog u n t i l 1979, when women had been here nearly a decade. Coincidentally, t h i s w a s a l s o the .f.i'rst year t h a t females 0utnumbere.d males i n the school. 111.' Current status of Women at Fairfield University . . .. . . . A.' Faculty , . . . -. .As stated earlier, thirty-eight percent of'the full, time undergraduate faculty, is female and there- are fif.ty-seven in all, half.of which are tenured. Many of these teachers have been appointed within the past few years. Almost fifty percent have only been here since 1987, Apparently, turnover has been a significant problem with wdmen. All bf the women have..ad vanced degrees, yet seek to hold low faculty ranks. These issues will be addressed later in the Database section, since this is where the information was compiled. .B. Students . . Female students now make up 55% of the undergraduate population. There are'l,599 .women and 1,328 men enrolled in - all three schools.. Probably due to the fact that women have been a majority for so long, there is a'growing awareness of them and their needs on campus. In 1987' the Women's Resource Center.was formed, along with its standin.g committee, The ~esource Center is a small-section .of the library that contains a collection of booksand materials solely devoted to women. The Women's Resource Center Standing Committee not only manages the Center, but organizes -events to increase the awareness of women on. campus. . . This group is primarily made up of faculty and administrative personnel, with two student representatives. In. 1989, a . . F student organization' was formed called ,the women's Issues . .. Community. W. I. C. meets weekly 'to discuss the issues that , , . , pertain directly to female students, Despite the new interest and concern for the female . . . majority, it is interesting to note that at 'the recent' dedication ceremony for the new chapel, women. were not own curriculums. permitted to be at ' the alter. This was not a University policy.,; but one held ' by ,the Bishop. Because of this, the , .. female' ~ssiitant Chaplain did not attend the.-mass.. The status: of women has definitely improved in many respects, but needs . . to continue in other areas. . . , I C. Women's Studies The University greatly expanded the number ,of women's courses that were offered this year, In total, there were five new additions to the curriculum In a variety of disciplines*. In English, there are.'new'classesin Women and Fiction.,.'a nd Topics and Techniques for .Women.W riters. The history department now offers Feminism in America, as well as The Female Experience: Excellent Women, Deviant Women. The . , .. final class is a soc.iology class entitled Sex .and Gender . . Roles. .: . . One loss to the curriculum was Feminist Theology. One possible reason for this is the fact that the last professor of this class moved on to a position at another University. Perhaps the class could have been taught by another member of the Religious Studies department, especially since several people mentioned that they included feminist theology in their .. , . .. <,: ; . . : . . . . . . , . . . . . . . .

Women's Topics in the Curriculum .. . . Five Hundred Seventy-one questionnaires were sent out to both full and part time faculty. Of the Ninety-One returned, Forty-four where from women and Forty-seven from men. This -. represents.fifty-one percent of female full-time undergraduate faculty and twenty-eight percent- of.. male . full-time . . . . .. .. . . undergraduate faculty. The topic responses covered a very broad range of areas. some were as specific as "Feminist Models of,Godt',o thers as broad as' "Gender Issues",. The r-esults of the questionnaire'were compiled in the database using the faculty survey form (See following page). This form is very simi.lar in design to the questionnaire. Report number five is the aggregate list of all women's topics taught in the curriculum as reported' on the surveys, including. time devoted to each. This is listed by department (Appendix . . ' E). Reports nine and ten break down this information into ' . male/female responses respectively. (Appendices F and G). w . Report six gives an indication of faculty .response as' '. far as their feelings about future change. Their response to the question "Do you foresee any changes.,in your. approach?" was entered into the database accord5ng..to the: following replies: no, could do more, more will be done, open to . . suggestions, and possible new'course. . , . . , . . . . . .. .
