Response to the Brooklyn College Women's Organization from President Kneller
In this letter addressed "Dear ladies," Brooklyn College President John Kneller's office delivers a dismissive response to complaints of sex discrimination and demands made by the Brooklyn College Women's Organization (BCWO). Kneller's office writes that he has "supported the day care concept from the beginning" but refers organizers to the dean of students instead. Regarding organizers' concerns about maternity discrimination, Kneller redirects them to the Board of Higher Education via the University Senate and Legislative Conference. And finally, he refers BCWO to the college curriculum committee to propose a Women's Studies Program. The letter makes no mention of the sex discrimination investigation led by BCWO.
