ing, knowingly permits hazing to
occur, or has knowledge of hazing
and fails to report said knowledge to

Women
FROM PAGE 1
To improve safety on campus,
the report recommended improved
lighting and escort services.
Because women fill a high pro-
portion of part-time positions, many
recommendations were directed
toward improving treatment of part-
time workers. The report proposed
the university consider establishing
the category of "part-time tenured
faculty" in which teaching, research
and service could count toward sen-
iority from the beginning of employ-
ment.
The Commission on Women
does not yet have specific plans for
its future. "We don't want to be self-
perpetuating, but we do want to help
to see our recommendations carried
through," Poindexter said.
"The Commission from last year
is very much in operation," she said.
The report marks the culmina-
tion of a year of work by seven task
forces that investigated different
women's issues and reported back to
the Commission on Women. An edi-
torial board of four commission
members then compiled their find-
ings.
"Based on reading recommenda-
tions from the task forces, we tried to
summarize them and prioritize what
we thought [President Rupp] should
consider," Poindexter said.
