The Committee first met on February 23, 1971. The records contain correspondence and background documents (1962-70), committee rosters, agendas, minutes, reports, correspondence, memoranda, and copies of publications relating to the status of women at the University of Illinois, on other campuses, and in non-academic settings. Subjects dealt with include pay equity, anti-nepotism regulations, discriminatory hiring practices, affirmative action, sexual harassment, provision of adequate health care and child care, and increased support for the Office of Women's Resources and Services.
