About the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW)
Our History
In July 1989 the Arizona Board of Regents convened a task force to assess the conditions for women at all three state universities. For two years, the ABOR Tri-University Commission [PDF] studied each institution and in 1991 published a comprehensive report that included a Vision for the Year 2000 and 50 Recommendations [PDF] to guide the universities in their efforts to achieve the Vision. The first recommendation directed each institution to create its own Commission on the Status of Women, and in fall of 1992 the University of Arizona CSW was established.
CSW Today
CSW is now a seasoned veteran and activist organization within the UA diversity arena. CSW projects and programs promote a just, equitable and inclusive campus by engaging the campus community in the process of achieving the Vision. The committee membership works under a set of By Laws adopted in 2005.
CSW Leadership
Comprised of all workgroup chairs, the CSW vice-chair, designated ex officio members and liaisons this group assists the CSW chair in managing the overall business and decision making of the Commission. The Executive Committee is responsible for selecting the Vision Award and Wisdom Award honorees, and for engaging in other activities that require the participation of CSW leadership.
