ABSTRACT
At the turn of the new year into 1976, Betty received a letter from Maryse Eymonerie. It was somewhat cryptic, having something to do with preparation of the AAUP Kit. Betty was supportive of the COPSS Visiting Lecturer Program in Statistics, and she had been in demand as a visiting lecturer. The UC administration continued its efforts, reporting that there were more, and more intense, actions toward affirmative action. Reporting, advocating, and testifying were now at the core of Betty's academic existence. In April, Betty concluded some expert witness work for a San Francisco law firm working on gender equity in academe. The UC-Berkeley administration decided to require each department to do an affirmative action self-evaluation. The statistics department's was drafted by then department chair Eric Lehmann. Mills College, a small women's college less than four miles from the Berkeley campus, hosted a one-day conference, 'Educating Women for Science: A Continuous Spectrum'.
