provides funding and a support system to women challenging sex discrimination in higher education. Since 1981 LAF has helped students, faculty, and administrators fight discrimination on campus involving sexual harassment, denial of tenure or promotion, pay inequity, and aid for women’s athletic programs.
In addition to supplying plaintiff support, LAF also provides campus outreach programs and a support network, and presents to deserving colleges and universities the Progress in Equity Award. In addition to the Case Support Program, LAF has a Network that provides experienced lawyers and social scientists who serve as volunteer consultants or may be contracted to represent individuals. Another program is the Campus Outreach Program aimed at educating campus communities about the problem of sex discrimination, presenting strategies to prevent and resolve issues when they occur, and informing about the services LAF provides to women who challenge it. The Progress in Equity Award Program recognizes college and university programs that have demonstrated significant progress toward equity for women on campus and in the community.
