Women's Advisory Council

Women's Advisory Council

The Women’s Advisory Council (WAC) is a critical part of the UD Men for Gender Equity Initiative. The WAC selects and oversees the Men’s Equity Advocates, directs content for Men’s Equity Allies sessions, and informs men of climate issues as it pertains to women. Accountability over Equity Advocates is a critical task of this Council, as is establishing a clear hierarchy with respect to this initiative. Equity Advocates are a group of men-identified faculty, staff and administrators interested in learning from women faculty and staff members in departments, colleges, and the university in order to create equitable treatment at UD.
