It is our contention that discrimination in hiring practices-'rather than inferiority of the women students has created this situation." The statement listefl five areas which GEW feels need investigation, including admissions, scholarships, assistantships, employment and placement. Following each of the suggestions are facts which, according to the Graduate English Women, show sex discrimination. Saying that any cutback in admissions to adjust - to the current job shortgage should not be made at the expense of women applicants for admission, the statement urged that graduate students be admitted on the - basis of grades, test scores and recommendations without any reference to sex. The graduate women urged that scholarships also be given as awards on the basis of objective criteria. The professional organization requested that criteria for assistantships be published and that women be considered for employment equally with men.
