“At the end of the day, in a game

coaching matchup could give the
game that type of appeal, especially
given other successful SEC teams

BCS bowls and the Capital One
Bowl will choose Auburn, Arkansas
and LSU, the three SEC teams with
10 wins, leaving the Cotton Bowl
likely to take Alabama. The Outback
Bowl has the next choice, and South
Carolina is the team with the next
best record.
Jerry Palm, who projects bowl

entrants to the tenure track earned
tenure within the seven years allot
ted, compared to 65 percent of male
entrants.
Sachs said there has been an
improvement over time in the num
ber of women faculty, but women
tend to be concentrated in the assis
tant and associate professor posi
tions. There tends to be a higher
number of women who are lecturers
or non tenure track faculty.
“In some fields, it’s more difficult
for women to be taken seriously as
scholars and teachers,” Sachs said.
“Academia for a long time has been
very male-dominated. For it to be
turned around in women’s favor has
been a long struggle.”
According to Penn State’s
University Budget Office’s report of
full-time employees by gender for
fall 2010, 36.2 percent of University
Park full-time employees are
female, while 63.8 percent are male.
At Penn State’s Commonwealth
Campuses, 43.8 percent of full-time
employees are female and 56.2 per
cent are male. Across all of Penn
State’s campuses and colleges, 37.3
percent of full-time employees are
female, and 62.7 percent are male,
according to the report.
Sachs said reasons for gender
inequality in faculty and tenure may
also be that graduate students
sometimes face obstacles in getting
mentoring, and sometimes male
professors may provide more men
toring and job opportunities to male
students.

If South Carolina wins...
The Gamecocks would go to the
Sugar Bowl. Other teams Schulze
mentioned for the Outback Bowl
were LSU, Alabama and Mississippi
State, and Penn State’s familiarity
with two of those names could have
a significant impact on the final bowl
matchup.
In the past, bowl games have
tended to shy away from rematches
of recent games. The Lions lost to
Alabama in September and beat
LSU in last season’s Capital One
Bowl.
But Schulze offered an opposing
voice to what bowl games have cho
sen in the past.
“Typically [a rematch] is not that
big of a deal,” Schulze said.
“Sometimes rematches are a lot of
fun actually.”
He pointed to the SEC title game
between Auburn and South
Carolina as having more appeal
because the two met in late
September. If there is enough time
between the games, he said, they
tend to be better the second time
around.
But the biggest reason bowl
games have shied away from
rematches is an original matchup
tends to sell more tickets because
fans haven’t already seen that
game.

Women compiled the 2007-2008
Report on the Status of Women at
Penn State with support from the
Office of the Vice Provost for
Educational Equity and the
University Budget Office. The
report, which is the most recent
report available, said 17 percent of
full professors at University Park
were female in 2007, an increase
from 9 percent in 1997. In 2007, 34
percent of associate professors at
University Park were female, com
pared to 23 percent in 1997.
Compared to 39 percent in 1997, 47
percent of assistant professors in
2007 were female.
The commission also conducted a
study of faculty and staff parents
during 2008 and 2009 and submitted
a series of recommendations devel
oped from the results to Penn State
President Graham Spanier and
other university officials. The rec
ommendations focused on making it
easier for faculty and staff members
to achieve a work-family balance,
allowing them to excel both at work
and at home, said Karin Foley, asso
ciate dean for administration and
research in the Eberly College of
Science.
Spanier responded promptly with
a response to each of the recom
mendations, many of which have
been implemented, Foley said.
“We could not have asked for a
prompter, more thorough or more
supportive response,” Foley said.
The key recommendations
included effective communication of
existing leave policies, improved
support of breastfeeding and pump

“Not only would switching to

community —Penn State could lead
the way for other universities,” Eay
(senior-political science and the
atre) said. “Ball State just transi

do it.”
Some onlookers saw the protest

a Penn State-Alabama bowl game
very unlikely because the two met in
Tuscaloosa in September, and they
will play in Happy Valley in Week 2 of
the 2011 season. That means fans
wouldn’t have to leave their home
town in order to see a Crimson Tide-
Lions matchup, making bowl travel
questionable.
If the Outback Bowl selects LSU
or Alabama and then opts to avoid
the rematch, the Big Ten’s next bowl
option is the Gator Bowl in
Jacksonville, where Mississippi
State and Florida are potential
opponents.
The Lions haven’t played in the
Gator Bowl since 1976 when they
lost to Notre Dame, and there’s very
little chance representatives would
pass up a Penn State-Florida
matchup.
The two schools are among the
most historic in college football,
making them ideal choices for
lower-tier bowls despite their identi
cal 7-5 records and similar disap
pointing seasons.
"You never know what’s going to
happen with the bowls,” PaJm said.
“But I know the Gator would love it
if the Outback were to pass on Penn
State."
The regular season may be over
for the Lions, but in terms of a final
destination, there is still football to
be played in Atlanta.

progress, Foley said.
In an effort to support women
who are breastfeeding their chil
dren, the university adopted policy
HR-20. The policy includes flexible
work practices to allow time for
pumping, Foley said.
Foley stressed the importance of
fostering a family-friendly climate
for both men and women.
“A major point here is that this is
not just a women’s issue,” Foley
said. “Men care about balancing
work and family life.”
Vice Provost for Academic Affairs
Blannie Bowen said part of creating
a family-friendly climate for both
women and men includes ensuring
that employees feel comfortable
taking advantage of existing poli
cies, Bowen said.
“In an environment like this, part
of the problem is that people feel
like they should come in to work
when they should be at home spend
ing time with their families. Our fac
ulties do not live in isolation, they
live with their families,” Bowen said.
The study found that one of the
major burdens on parents employed
by the university was lack of avail
ability of university-provided day
care.
In response, more daycare slots
are being offered as result of a new
daycare center that is being built at
University Park, Foley said. Penn
State Altoona also recently opened a
daycare center.
To better communicate existing
leave policies, the Office of Human
Resources also revamped its web
site to have all of the information on
family leave in one place, Foley said.
