Progress in bringing about equal employment conditions for academic women at the University of Alberta, Canada, is reviewed. In 1975 a Senate Task Force on the Status of Academic Women at the University of Alberta reported serious discrepancies in terms of salaries, rank, and participation in university governance between women and men. Each of the 1975 task force's 15 recommendations to promote equal employment opportunities are considered, including progress achieved or factors that have changed during the past 12 years. Recommendations include the following areas: statements against sex discrimination; approaches to promote more flexible and imaginative work patterns for all staff including part-time and shared tenurable positions; maternity benefits; and subsidized day care facilities on campus. Tables and graphs comparing 1974 and 1986 data are provided. Findings of the 1987 Review Committee's evaluation are considered, along with results of the Survey of Academic Staff that pertain to the recommendations. Appendices include: examples of forms used at universities for documenting recruitment procedures; December 1986 statistics on the numbers and percentages of female and male academic employees by rank and faculty; and the academic staff questionnaire.
