ACWO

The Adivsory Council of Women's Opprotunities (ACWO), established by Chancellor Posvar on July 21, 1970, was created to consult and review the four areas in his new study. Posvar and the Univeristy were challenged by the University Committee for Women's Rights (UCWR) to reevaluate the status of women within the University and how they have been limiting their opprotunities and growth. In response, Posvar launched four study groups to investigate the areas of educational programs for women, career opprotunities and services for women faculty and non faculty, and lastly, admissions, counselling, and special services for women. The ACWO was tasked with reviewing these studies and many of its members would continue on to call for and support the women's studies program.
