Events

Faculty Salary Equity and Transparency Recommendations

The School of Medicine’s Women Faculty Network held a discussion following a University-wide panel on Faculty Salary Equity and Transparency on March 10, 2021. The discussion centered on several major themes and a series of recommendations emerged, which are outlined in this document. The goal of this document is to increase transparency around compensation processes. The recommendations are currently undergoing discussion and consideration by relevant stakeholders and leaders.

Stanford Women on Boards Initiative

Dear alumni-

Are you a graduate of Stanford who is currently serving on a board or has previous board experience (corporate, public sector, or non-profit)? If so, you qualify for membership in the Stanford Women on Boards Initiative!  

The Stanford Women on Boards Initiative (SWB) is committed to increasing the representation of Stanford alumnae on corporate and fiduciary boards, increasing their readiness for board service, and further developing the capabilities and influence of Stanford women already on boards. 

Stanford non-discrimination policy

Consistent with its obligations under the law, Stanford prohibits unlawful discrimination on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, sex, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, veteran status, marital status or any other characteristic protected by applicable law in the administration of the University's programs and activities; Stanford also prohibits unlawful harassment including sexual harassment and sexual violence. 

Stanford developed a new sexual harassment/assault policy and pilot procedures in response to federal Title IX regulations. Stanford’s SHARE Title IX Office wants to make sure you are aware of these changes, the resources at Stanford, and where you can access more information should you need it.

They also invite you to view a brief video introducing the SHARE Title IX Office and other resources on campus, including confidential resources.
