Alliance for Women's Advancement, Rights, and Equality (A.W.A.R.E.). Alliance for Women's Advancement, Rights, and Equality (A.W.A.R.E.) records, 1972-1981.

Title: Alliance for Women's Advancement, Rights, and Equality (A.W.A.R.E.) records, 1972-1981.

In response to the legal and regulatory environment of the time, the President of CMDNJ appointed, in March 1972, the Committee on the Current Status of Women, to report on any inequities at the College. This was the first of several predecessors to the committee elected in December 1974, and renamed the Alliance for Women's Advancement, Rights, and Equality (A.W.A.R.E.). The records of A.W.A.R.E. cover the period from 1972 to 1981, although most of the material dates from 1974-1977. The collection represents the records of three individuals. The first subseries consists of the papers of Anita Roberts, an A.W.A.R.E. officer; the second subseries refers to records of Diane Redd's tenure as chair of the A.W.A.R.E. committee; the third and most extensive subseries is comprised of papers maintained by May Hollinshead. Also included in the collection are papers pertaining to Committee W of the American Association of University Professors (A.A.U.P.). This latter material deals with women's issues and dates from 1975-1977. Document types in the collection include correspondence, reports, agendas and minutes of meetings (the minutes appear to represent a complete or nearly complete series), newsletters, speeches, constitutions and by-laws, article reprints, newspaper clippings, state Assembly bills, and affirmative action plans and drafts of plans.
