History
The Academic Women’s Equity Coalition was established at South Dakota State University in 1983-84 following informal discussions among faculty members about workplace policies and professional opportunities. Membership was open to all faculty and others who supported its mission. The coalition aimed to examine workplace policies, identify areas for improvement, and support faculty members in navigating professional challenges. It also served as a forum for exchanging information and ideas related to faculty experiences and career advancement.
The coalition focused on encouraging clear and consistent language in professional settings, fair hiring practices, equitable salaries, and transparency in promotion and tenure decisions. It also sought to support faculty members interested in administrative roles at the university. Through its efforts, the coalition played an active role in promoting discussions and initiatives related to faculty careers and professional development.
