- Summary:
-
In the fall semester, 1972, a Women's Re-entry Program was initiated at Diablo Valley College. The program was devised to provide a supportive and encouraging atmosphere and convenient physical arrangements so that women could return to the classroom. All classes were scheduled during elementary school hours, and child care was made available for preschool children. The program consisted of two blocks of basic general education courses in which a total of 79 students enrolled. At the end of the semester, students wrote informal essays evaluating their experiences. Every student expressed approval, usually enthusiasm, and no one stated that she regretted entering the program or totally disliked any single course. Three colloquies and a lecture series and seminar were available as special electives. At the end of the semester a statistical analysis was made of the students' backgrounds, reasons for enrolling, scholastic achievement at Diablo, and retention rate. The Women's Studies Committee proposes new courses of study, new services, and equalizing participation in programs and activities for both sexes. Specifically, it proposes a combined course block plus optional colloquies, a child care center, a women's education center, affirmative action hiring for women faculty, women's studies programs, a director of women's programs, and steps to provide equal athletic programs for men and women.
