The University established the position of Status of Women Coordinator to facilitate structural changes to address status of women's issues. Despite the advancements made in recent years, there are still special challenges, both old and new, facing women in university.
Coordinator Nancy Adamson identifies priority issues of various groups of women on campus, and lobbies for changes that will improve their status. Some of these issues are childcare, sexual harassment, personal and campus safety, date rape and sexual assault, racism, inaccessibility, sexism, employment andeducational equity, and chilly climate. The Coordinator also offers confidential counselling, information, and referral to individual students, staff, and faculty to resolve specific problems.
The Office's Human Rights Educator, Jane Keeler, also facilitates workshops on sexual harassment, sexism in general, and other human rights issues.
Located in St. Patrick's Building, Room 446, the office is usually open from 9:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M., but the Coordinator is also available for evening appointments. Students are encouraged to contact the Coordinator at 520-5622 to discuss their concerns.
