ABSTRACT:
The 1973 study by the Women Chemists Committee is updated for the 1974-75 academic year. Only professors, associate professors, and assistant
professors are included, since lecturers, instructors, and others are
not considered full-time appointees or permanent positions. Unfortunately,
in following the fate of young women Ph.D.'s, it seems that the assistant
professor rank can also be a very temporary appointment and not always
a position in the tenure track. This revision shows that some chemistry
departments have added women to their faculties for the first time since
the 1973 report. But of the large departments, having over 30 faculty
members with no women in 1973, only three of 26 have added women faculty
members. The fact remains that the institutions surveyed continue to graduate
more than 180 women Ph.D.'s in chemistry each year. The revision includes
some departments that were omitted in the first compilation. (Author/MSE)
