Historical Note
The Association for Faculty Women originated in 1975. The forerunner
of the group was the subcommittee on academic women of the Committee of Women,
a Pullman organization founded in 1968. This early group proposed the first
women's studies course at Washington State University and also secured
modification of several other university policies changes that furthered
faculty women's opportunities.
After AFW was formed it continued working on equity issues important
to women in academe. Additionally, in 1984 the group began honoring outstanding
women graduate students.
The association is active to date, and its highest priority for the
future is to open up the university's decision-making positions to capable
women
