Design professor claims gender discrimination
A design professor who accused Harvard University of gender discrimination has withdrawn her resignation but said Thursday that the school's landscape architecture department remains a bastion of sexism, as reported by the Associated Press. Martha Schwartz, 56, complained that the department has never had a tenured female professor in its 106 years of existence.
Schwartz, who submitted her letter of resignation on Friday, said that the president, the dean of the Graduate School of Design and other fellow faculty members persuaded her to change her mind. The dean said all three senior appointments he has made since taking over in 2004 have been women.
Schwartz said that she joined the faculty at the same time as two of the tenured male professors. She said that tenure would be largely symbolic for her and other women.
The landscape architecture department has six tenured professors and 11 non-visiting adjunct faculty members, four of whom are women. Roughly 70 percent of the program's students are women.
