The Women's Place at Ohio State University: Making Room for Gender Equity on Campus
Judith B. Fountain, Assistant Vice Provost of Women's Policy Issues and Director of The Women's Place, The Ohio State University
When I became director of The Women's Place at Ohio State University, my job was to implement a vision that was over thirty years in the making. Over the years, I have been a part of the process of identifying ways for women to connect across the University, and I now have the opportunity to lead the University's efforts to effect positive institutional change for women on campus. In my view, while addressing individual issues related to women will always be important, real change will only occur when the institutional policies and mechanisms are in place to address women's individual and collective concerns within an institutional framework.

External Influences Shaping Gender Equity
Helen Remick, Assistant Provost for Equal Opportunity, University of Washington
While Title IX poses similar challenges and promises for colleges and universities across the country, working in Washington state has meant that Helen Remick's approach to achieving equity has not been shaped by Title IX alone. Washington state laws and state and federal court cases have also had significant impacts on her Title IX work, particularly where athletics are concerned.
