(1974). [Trustees: Working Together–Making a Difference.] Report on the Annual Convention (5th, Portland, Oregon, September 26-28, 1974). Representatives from thirty states and the District of Columbia participated in the Fifth Annual Conference of the Association of Community College Trustees. Written and compiled by Journalism students at Portland Community College, this report presents highlights of the conference addresses and workshops, and interviews with participants, in a magazine format. Among topics discussed, the role of trustees in collective bargaining, the need for community colleges to become servants of their communities, financial and educational accountability, student tuition, and the problems of faculty tenure emerge as the most significant. Four major resolutions adopted by the conference participants were (1) to keep tuition at the lowest possible level, (2) to oppose federal or state government imposition of collective bargaining laws on the public sector of higher education, (3) to keep authority and control of salaries at the local board level, and (4) to eliminate faculty tenure.

(1976). Sex Discrimination in the Selection of School District Administrators: What Can Be Done? NIE Papers in Education and Work: Number Three. A grass-roots organization, Career Women in Education (CWE)) formed to increase the proportion of women administrators on Long Island. This booklet is about CWE-particularly how it organized to help women educators overcome discrimination–but it is also designed to be a how-to manual. Ideas are presented for starting a job-locating network, a talent bank, district fact folders, and workshops to help members prepare for applying for jobs; and for developing public relations and keeping in contact with local administrators. Other topics concern what administrators involved in hiring can do, what the law can do, and how women administrators can organize their own grass-roots organization. Useful devices are suggested that organizations can adopt to increase the opportunities for women in education. Appendixes identify documented practices of school districts that prevent women from securing administrative positions. Other items in the appendixes are a list of studies and reports… [PDF]
