LATE-BREAKING NEWS

University of Minnesota Sex Discrimination Case Settled. Thirty-seven female librarians on faculty appointments at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Campus, have settled their sex discrimination complaint over salary in a pre-trial settlement. The plaintiffs represent 71% of the women librarians on the Twin Cities Campus.

Provisions of the settlement require the University to award the following payments to the plaintiffs: $750,000 for retrospective salary claims; $35,000 for Fiscal Year 1983/84, and $20,000 for Fiscal Year 1984/85 distribution; and $100,000 for attorney's fees. A further provision provides for plaintiffs at the rank of Instructor to be promoted to Assistant Professor on July 1, 1983.

The complaint, covering the period from 1972 to the present, was developed by an ad hoc group of faculty women librarians using salary analysis data they have gathered since 1970. Katherine Holum filed the complaint on behalf of the women librarians holding faculty appointments on June 1, 1981, as she then served as chair of the Library's Faculty Personnel Committee.

Over the period covered by the claim, the University had made attempts to alleviate the salary differentials of women faculty librarians; however, after the appointment of a new university librarian in late 1976, the gap in salaries again widened. The plaintiffs concluded that their only redress was to file a complaint under the provisions of the Rajender Consent Decree.

Government Cuts Document Costs. Public printer Danford L. Sawyer, Jr., has endorsed the recommendations of a task force appointed by him last fall to develop improved methods for pricing and distributing Federal documents. Included in the recommendations is a new pricing formula that will go into effec¹ by October 1, 1983, and will be applied to all titles offered for sale after that date. The new formula will recognize an expanded number of product categories, such as small publications, low demand and small quantity titles, and hard copy publications reproduced on demand from microfiche.

The Government Printing Office will also: reduce cost elements by 10% to price all new publications or subscriptions offered for sale between now and October 1; bear the cost associated with reprints if they are ordered within 6 months after the Superintendant of Documents has purchased the publication for sale; and offer hard copy publications for sale over an 18-month cycle.

The new effort to sell publications on demand in microfiche or in paper copy reproduced from microfiche will allow GPO to keep titles in stock that would otherwise be removed from inventory.

EXCHANGE OPPORTUNITY. ALA has recently received an inquiry from the French government about a possible exchange of librarians to begin this fall. They would like to send two English-speaking librarians, one from a medical library in Limoges and the other from a science library in Marseilles, to work in an American library for one year. In return, the government would like to have two French-speaking librarians from the U.S. to work in these libraries in France. The salaries of the French librarians will be paid by their government but because the franc is currently weak, they would prefer to send their librarians to an area where the cost of living is not high or to a -university where they could obtain inexpensive housing. If your library is interested in setting up an exchange arrangement or is willing to host a visiting science or medical librarian for one year, contact Sandy Whiteley at (312) 944-6780.
