Struggling
for equalit

AFTER YEARS OF COMMITTEES, REPORTS AND PROMISES,
UK WOMEN STILL LAG BEHIND IN PAY, PRESTIGE AND POWER

By Scott Sloan
PROJECTS rain)?

The University of Ken
tucky employs more than
6,000 people on its Lexington
campus, almost the same
number of men as women.

Examine the top
salaries. though. and women
are conspicuously absent.

That's not the only case
of missing women.

Few women work as se-
nior administrators. and
only one reports solely to the
president.

Hardly any women teach
in the highestpaying col-
leges.

A woman heads one of
the 11“ Lexington campus col-
leges.

These findings. among
others. came after a four-
month Kernel computer
analysis of UK employment
records.

The problems stand out
as part of a larger issue
plaguing female employees
~~ UK‘s often criticized histo-
ry of worker equality.

When President Lee
Todd joined UK in July 2001.
his vocal commitment to im.
prove the status of women
brought cheers from those
who felt slighted. Todd creat-
ed a commission to study
and recommend policy about
women's issues on campus.

But last week. the com-
mission‘s chairwoman. Car-
olyn Bratt, abruptly an-
nounced her resignation. cit-
ing a growing frustration
with Todd‘s mostly male ad-

ministration and criticizing
the search process for those
powerful positions. '

“When President Todd
was hired. he was called an
out-of-the—box candidate. He
was somebody different. But
we have not seen an out-of-
the-box hire of a woman.
Women are where they have
been there‘s nothing new.
innovative or different,"
Bratt said.

Todd counters that little
can be done to change such a
long-term problem quickly.

“It‘s a culture we’ve got
to change.“ he said.

Bratt’s complaints mir-
ror the Kernel‘s ﬁndings:

e. Only one woman re-
ports only to the president.

to Women work dispro-
portionately in undervalued
positions; in 2001. 1.898
women worked in secretarial
and clerical jobs. compared
to 207 men.

a UK loses frustrated
women to competing univer-
sities that offer better jobs:
one woman left and is now
president of the University
of Michigan. another is now
president of Oberlin College
in Ohio.

e In some cases. women
earn substantially less than
men in comparable jobs.

Placing women in power

When Todd announced
his administration to the
Board of Trustees in July
2001. men filled the list. pri-
marily because at the time.
they held similar positions.
Of eight people announced

to report only to the presi»
dent. Todd filled four of
those positions with new
faces. all men. He also
formed two commissions.
charging them to study di-
versity and women‘s issues.

A year later. Todd added
another position vice presi-
dent for academic outreach
and public service to the
elite list, ﬁlling it with Retia
Walker. the female dean of the
College of Human Environ-
mental Sciences.

A second woman will fol-
low Walker to the organiza
tional chart when Wendy
Baldwin becomes the vice
president for research.
though Baldwin‘s position
calls her to consult with the
provost on many issues.

“Yes. we have a couple of
women here, but it's really
only one or two or very few.
and it‘s tokenism." said
Karen Tice. an associate edu-
cation professor. “You show-
case those people, and you
don‘t have to do the rest of
the work."

During the past year.
Todd hired three men Paul
Van Booven as general legal
counsel. Michael Nietzel as
provost and Mitch Barnhart
as athletics director.

Todd’s choice of acting
provost N ietzel came before
any ﬁnalists for the job visit-

ees such as Bratt who said
Nietzel was Todd‘s inside
choice all along.

U.S. let missiles go to Yemen
WASHINGTON » Skirting a face~off with
Yemen. the United States on Wednesday let
an intercepted shipment of North Korean
missiles proceed to the Persian Gulf coun-
try after receiving assurances the Scuds
would not be transferred elsewhere in the
tense region. The agreement was reached
through unusual highlevel diplomacy in-
volving Vice President Dick Cheney and
Secretary of State Colin Powell. on the one

whose naval forces intercepted the ship in
the Arabian Sea. also were deeply involved
in the awkward negotiations. as was Cam-
bodia. in southeast Asia. Bush administra-
tion officials acknowledged that boarding
the ship and taking charge of its cargo
probably violated international law. But ad
ministration decisionmakers were guided
by concern about an influx of weapons into
the Persian Gulf region just as the United
States is considering force to disarm Iraq.

Poor organization hurt intelligence
WASHINGTON Intelligence agencies
that were supposed to protect Americans
from the Sept. 11 hijackers failed to do so
because they were poorly organized. poorly
equipped and slow to pursue clues that
might have prevented the attacks. lawmak-
ers said Wednesday as they completed their
investigation into the attacks. The members
of congress offered 19 recommendations to
improve the intelligence ﬁght against ter-
rorism. most notably creating a Cabinet-lev-
el position of national intelligence director.
But they couldn‘t agree on whether anyone
should be punished for the failures. After a
staff review of $00000 documents and 600
lanI‘Vlf‘Ws. the House and Senate Intelli-
gence (‘ominittees uncovered no clues that
specifically warned of the Sept. 11 plot. But
it found agencies had failed to cast aside

threats posed by terrorists. pursue terrorist
suspects in the I'nited States and share

Thomas condemns cross burning
WASHINGTON ~— Normally stoic and silent
during arguments. Supreme Court Justice
Clarence Thomas found his voice Wednesday,
condemning cross burning as a symbol of op
pression during “100 years of lynching" in the
South by the Ku Klux Klan. The subject also
evoked strong emotions from his white col-
leagues. who joined in expressing concern
about violence and racism during arguments
in the second cross-burning case to reach the
Supreme Court in a decade. Justices are con-
sidering how far states may go to discourage
the Klan and others from burning crosses. a
provocative practice rooted in racial hatred
but still given some free-speech protections. At
issue is the constitutionality of a Silyear-old
Virginia law that bans cross burning. 'I‘hc ar-
guments produced an unusually candid look at
the justices, particularly Thomas. who gener»
ally speaks only once or twice a year during
arguments and refuses to give interviews.
“This was a reign of terror. and the cross was
a symbol of that reign of terror. Isn't that sig-
niﬁcantly greater than intimidation or a
threat?" Thomas. the second black to serve on
the court. asked a Bush administration lawyer
who supported the law.

Lott expresses regret for remarks

WASHINGTON—~Senate Republican leader
Trent Lott said Wednesday he made a “mis-
take of the head and not of the heart" when
making comments that have clouded his fu-
ture and further strained relations between
the GOP and blacks. “The words were terri-
ble and I regret that." said Lott. R-Miss. In
remarks last Thursday at a birthday party
for 100-year-old Sen. Strom Thurmond. R.
S.C.. Lott suggested the country would have
been better off if Thurmond. running for
president on a pro-segregationist ticket in
1948. had won. Lott. backed by fellow Repub-
licans. urged people to accept his apology so
“we will be able to move on to other issues."
Democrats said Lott. who spoke to conserva
tive radio host Sean Hannity in an inter-
view televised on Fox News. had failed to
satisfy questions about whether he was
qualiﬁed to lead the Senate and about his
party‘s policies toward minorities.

WASHINGTON Skirt-

the United States on Wednes-
day let an intercepted ship-
ment of North Korean mis-
siles proceed to the Persian
Gulf country after receiving
assurances the Scuds would
not be transferred elsewhere
in the tense region.

The agreement was
reached through unusual
high‘level diplomacy involv-
ing Vice President Dick Ch-

Colin Powell, on the one
hand, and President Ali Ab-

other.

Spanish authorities.

southeast Asia.

Bush administration of-

charge of its cargo probably

But administration decision-
makers were guided by con-
cern about an inﬂux of
weapons into the Persian
Gulf region just as the Unit-

“We were very suspi~

State Department

“At first one couldn't verify
the nationality of the ship
because the ship‘s name and
the indications of nationali-

Behind the scenes. there
was disagreement within the
administration. Powell con-
cluded Yemen was entitled to
the missiles because they
had been purchased prior to
a pledge Yemen made in July
2001 not to obtain any more
weapons technology from
North Korea.

But some Pentagon offi-
cials took the position the
pledge applied to prior con—
tracts as well, and that
Yemen was obliged not to

take delivery of the weapons.

Ironically. the Bush ad-
ministration has not tried to

negotiate curbs on missile
exports with North Korea
since it broke other accords
by proceeding with a nuclear
weapons program. thereby
convincing US officials it
could not be trusted to keep
its word.

Powell said the good rela-
tionship between the United
States and Yemen was one
reason for permitting deliv-

Morriss was 7-5 this season at UK
and 11 11 in two years. The (‘ats were in-
eligible for .1 bowl this season because
of N1‘AA sanctions.

Morriss took over at I'K when Hal
Mumme resigned in February 2001
amid internal and NCAA investiga-
tions. 11 was his ﬁrst head coaching job.

“We wanted an experienced head
coach. someone who had experience
with turning things around.” said Bay-
1111' President Robert Sloan Jr. “He is al-
ready unifying the Baylor family."

Itaylor is the Big 12's only private
institution and school officials refused
to disclose contract terms. Morriss“ base
salary at I'K was 311111111111). and UK ofﬁ‘
ci.1l.s said Itavlor outbid them.

he thinks he‘ll be given time to turn
things around

"It‘s going to take some time to fix.
and I think they understand that." he
said "11111 I don‘t see any reason we
can't be winners here and be a competi-

tive football team immediately."

Drayton McLane .Jii. chairman of
the Houston Astros and :1 Baylor Uni-
versity regent who served on the search
committee to find Morriss. said the
school wants to see improvement on the
field. Steele‘s four teams never really
looked better one year 111 the next

“We want to see each year you‘re
making progress." McLane said. "He
made great progress in two years (at
UK)."

Morriss said he doesn't care about
Baylor‘s recent history. just the future.

“The past is the past.” he said.
“There‘s nothing we can do about it.“

Morriss said he would meet with
Baylor players for the first time
Wednesday afternoon. Quarterback
Aaron Karas was at the news confer-
ence and liked what he hear 11.

“'He s a tough guy and thats
we need around here." Karas said.

A key to winning will be recruiting
Texas high school players. Morriss said
he'll go after the same players as Texas.
Oklahoma and Texas A&M.

“I got :1 hard head (and) I like
butting heads. I did that in the NFL for
15 years." Morriss said. “If you want to
land the big guys. you've got to go heati-
to—head with the big guys. We‘re going
to outhustle and outwork them.”

Morriss will bring most of his Keir
tucky assistants with him. several of
whom also have ties to Texas.

“There's :1 lot of good players in the
state of Texas." he said. “Surely we can
find 20 or 25 who want to come to
Baylor."
