Additional areas that are covered include: statistical approaches to examine salary equity; equity issues that postsecondary institutions need to assess; sex bias, promotion, and tenure court cases involving female faculty members; a 1981 guidebook to employment legislation and regulations; sexual harassment lawsuits; publications providing information to students concerning sexual harassment; information on Hispanic women's organizations; conferences on minority women; women's studies programs; trends in women's choice of fields of study; women in graduate schools and medical schools; women in science; the establishment of national women's championships in sports; a 1981 women's sports scholarship guide; publications about women in Europe and South and Central America; fellowships, awards, and scholarships; resource materials on sex equity counseling and research; sex bias in testing; and women and the media.
