18 Friday, April 16, 1971 University Daily Kansan KU Profs to Study Status Of Salaries, Women Profs By JOYCE NEERMAN Kansan Staff Writer Resolutions to improve the status of women professors at the University of Kansas and the University of Oklahoma will be presented at the April 22 meeting of the KU chapter of the Association of University Professors (AUP). J. Bunker Clark, vice-president and president-elect of the university professors. Clark, who is also an associate professor of history of music. Ronald Calgaard improve status said that the traditional function of AAUP was that of a watchdog, passing suggestions along to governing groups. Ronald Calgaard, president of the KAU AAP and associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Arts, said that he was trying to improve the economic status of the profession here and to improve the status of students. Calgaid said that the national AUAP "uses a self-grading system to call attention to bring improvements in the process," and that for the 1970-71 academic year KU ranked very low, compared with other institutions that awarded PHD. "On a scale of one to 10, with one being the highest mark, KU's rating for full professors' salaries is about 7.5, and professors the rating was 10, for assistant professors 10, and the rank for instructors was also 10."18 Caligaard said that on the AUAP rating scale KU did not look so bad because it was compared to all institutions of higher learning, which included as well as all four-year colleges. The new rating system divides all schools into three categories: doctorates, doctorates each year, straight 4-year liberal arts colleges, and 2-year medical colleges. These three types of institutions attract different levels of rating system provides a more realistic idea of a school's pay scale, Clark said some interest had been expressed at the national level in collective bargaining, and if enough interest was expressed by local chapters and chapters in the state then it could Clark said he agreed with the present national AAUP policy that "doesn't encourage strikes in extreme cases, but only in extreme cases." "An extensive study was conducted at K.S.T.C. (Kansas State Teachers College) at Emporia on the status of women there and it was generally confirmed that women paid less, and tend to be hired less, compared to the number of PhD's granted." Clark said. The local chapter's committee on the Status of Women, headed by Susan K. Baird, art history, would report on conditions at KU at the chapter's Clark said the Kansas AAUP was the first state AAUP group to offer a program that covers the status of women professors. Both Clark and Calgard said the AAUP was working to reduce the number of women in many institutions, which discouraged both husband and wife working at the same institution. Clark said the traditional strength of the organization had been in the establishing of academic freedom in the J. Bunker Clark ... bargaining classroom, and its power had been in the censuring of institutions that violated this freedom. "The AAUW wants to give the teacher the freedom to tell the truth in the classroom as he sees it." The year of recrimination, "Larkaad" Calgaard said there was some thought here that the existing KU rules should be modified "Beartraps" from California are tough looking and tough wearing.
