Systemwide Advisory Committee on the Status of Women

The formation of the Systemwide Advisory Committee on the Status of Women is an outgrowth of the Creating Change Initiative coordinated by former UC Associate President Linda Williams and Staff Presidential Fellow Amy Levine. Focusing on the advancement of women at UC, they visited each of the campuses, OP and LBNL and subsequently recommended the formation of Committees on the Status of Women at each location.

In support of this initiative, former UC President Robert C. Dynes created the Systemwide Advisory Committee on the Status of Women, with representatives from each location.

The charge of the committee is to examine issues regarding the status of women staff, students and faculty at the University of California; to analyze existing policies, procedures, and/or programs that affect those issues; to serve as a coordinating body for campus, Office of the President and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Committees on the Status of Women; to identify model programs or activities and support systemwide implementation; and to recommend to the President changes that will continue to afford women equal and fair access to campus programs, activities and opportunities.

The Systemwide Advisory Committee on the Status of Women supports the work of the UC Diversity Study Group and the UC Staff Diversity Council and is a demonstration of leaderships' commitment and support for diversity initiatives. The work of this committee will be significant to the continued success of the University of California.
