The Committee on Women's Studies submitted a proposal to Dean Rosovsky this week asking him to take immediate steps toward establishing a women's studies program at Harvard.
The proposal asks Rosovsky to appoint a committee to investigate the need for such a program, and to consider the possible establishment of a concentration in women's studies.
