Believing that the concept of affirmative action should extend to the curriculum, Nancy Topping Bazin, director of the Old Dominion University (ODU) Women's Studies Program, has strived for a change in the school's mission statement to reflect this conviction. If we have a concensus that equality is a good thing," says Bazin, "then the commitment to the philosophical principle of equality should automatically transfer to the curriculum. We should hire people who are experts in women's, black, and third world studies who can integrate their research into the various departments and help other people change their courses."
