Sex bias allegations under review
Procedures for reviewing allegations of sex discrimination in the political science department are advancing according to affirmative action procedures, Ambrae Saricks, vice chancellor for academic affairs, said yesterday.
"I don't know that there has been a delay," Saricks said. "We've followed affirmative action procedures throughout the case. There hasn't been any foot dragging on this thing."
The allegations were made by Ann R. Willner, professor of political science, in a letter sent to Cancellor Archie R. Dykes Sept. 27.
Wilmer's charges are divided into three major divisions:
The department of political science has been in isolation of University affirmative action being established.
— There is evidence that the department has been discriminator in its recruiting process.
United Fund campaign still short 2 days before campus deadline
With just two days let us卸 off the original target date, the United Fund Campaign is $1.5 billion.
Henry Snyder, chairman of the University United Fund campaign, said yesterday that the goal for the University drive was to increase the number of students Snyder said the drive had raised almost $23,000 to date. The funds collected from the fundraising event were a part of the $198,923 required for lawsuits.
The University drive is directed toward those faculty members and University employees who are permanent residents of Lawrence, he said. Although there have been many contributions, Snyder said he will welcome any assistance from them.
Snyder said that most of the money raised would go directly to local agencies.
said, because most of the work is voluntary and because there is no staff.
Many people might be feeling the pinch of inflation, Snyder said, but local agencies also are suffering from inflation. The campaign funds the campaign can provide, he said.
The campaign, which began Oct. 14, officially will end Nov. 6. Snyder said that anyone wishing to contribute should do so before tomorrow.
If the campaign's goal isn't reached by
the team, the goal will be
continued until the goal is reached.
He said that money and checks were necessary, but he asked that pledges be sent to the Bankruptcy Court.
He said that the funds collected in the campaign helped meet the needs of many health workers and building these. These funds help support to the improvement of Lawrence, he said.
- "The department chairman has also discriminated against the single woman member of the department, who happens to be me."
Saricks said the Wilmer case had been reviewed by the Academic Affairs Affirmative Action Committee. In a letter to the committee, he said that Joseph Pichoff, chairman of the committee, said that the allegations weren't in the province of the committee's powers and suggested that Wilmer make a formal complaint to the office of Affirmative Action. Saricks said.
At that point, Saricks said, Shankel sought the advice of Mike Davis, University general counsel, on whether the committee serve as the investigative body in the case.
Davis said last night that he also had been contacted by Willner and Vicki Hamer, acting director of the Office of Affirmative Action, who asked him whether the committee was the appropriate body to hear the case.
Sarics said Shankel next sent a letter to Wilner in which he outlines the two courses he will teach. The Academic Affairs Wilmer's request to the Academic Affairs Affirmative Action Committee to hear her case or that she can present an Affirmative Action and file formal procedures.
He said he responded to Shankel in a letter that he had reviewed the affirmative action plan and that he thought the committee would serve as an ad hoc committee in the case.
Willer said last night that she hadn't yet replied to Shankel's letter.

The search for a new director of the University of Kansas libraries has been narrowed to four applicants from outside the University library system and several persons newly employed by the library, the university department of the search committee, said yesterday.
The vacancy was created after former director David Heron resigned in June to accept a post at the University of California at Santa Cruz.
Speculation among library personnel is that both H. Robert Maltowsky, assistant library director, and John Glinka, acting director, are being considered.
Hoffman wouldn't release the names of women were women being considered for the job.
Hoffman said the 12-member search committee had received about 60 applications. Many of the applicants are still being considered, he said. Interviews will begin in late November or early December, he said.
Sandra Mason, assistant director of special collections and a member of the
"I feel the committee is giving equal consideration to both sides," he said, "but no special consideration."
search committee, refused to comment about individuals being considered but said that Glinka was doing an excellent job as acting director.
Whether the new director is from the KU library system or from some other library system is not known.
"It been a very long procedure, but I don't think we've wasted any time," Mason said.
She said the committee was working hard to find the best possible candidate. She
Hoffman said the committee, which was formed in April, hoped to complete its search by January.
He said this would mean that the director could assume his responsibilities about July
