The Washington State University (WSU) Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) was
established in 1971 by President Glenn Terrell with the intention of creating and
maintaining a safe and equitable institutional environment for women at WSU. The CSW
acts as an information agency that presents data and recommendations to the
President and Executive Vice President for policy formation. It is concerned with
various women’s issues such as maternity leave, childcare, athletics, sexual
harassment and assault, salary equity, leadership, career opportunities, and race
and ethnicity in relation to women in the WSU community. The CSW consists of voting
members representing multiple WSU campuses and includes faculty,
administrative/professional and classified staff, undergraduate students, and
graduate students.
The collection contains correspondence, minutes, reports by the commission and their
related working papers, reports on the commission, and subject files of the
Washington State University Commission on the Status of Women, dating from
1973-1991.
Arrangement follows the office procedures of the Commission, and also reflects the
accruing accessions of records by the Archives. Organized in five series, arranged
chronologically within each series.
This collection is open and available for research use.

Records of the Washington State University Commission on the Status on Women have
been transferred to the University Libraries on several occasions. Initial records
were acquired in 1976 and 1977 (UA76-6 and UA77-35). In 1991, a third accession
(UA91-19) was received and a fourth accession (UA 1993-05) was received in 1993.
The initial two acquisitions (UA76-6 and UA77-35) were processed as Archives 6 and
Archives 32 in 1970s-1980s. In 1991, Archives 32 and a new acquisition (UA91-19)
were reprocessed into Archives 6. An additional accession (UA 1993-05) was processed
into this collection in 2011.
