Bitter Dispute Over Alleged Hostility to Women Splits History Dept. at U. of Toledo

The Independent Collegian: Women in history dept. claim bias; Report says females feel unwelcome at work, one resigns

One female faculty member resigned and four males filed a legal grievance in response to a recent report claiming a hostile work environment exists toward women in UT’s history department.

The report, compiled by the Office of Institutional Diversity and leaked to the press on Thursday, said interviews with females in the department revealed that “these female faculty members feel that they are addressed in a condescending manner, are patronized and simply not respected as scholars.”
