 \n            Monday,September 30,1985  \n# NONTRADITIONAL WOMEN STUDENTS TARGETED IN FINANCIAL AID BILL\n\nWomen represent two-thirds of higher education students over 34 years old,yetcurrent student aid policies are stacked against them,say the cosponsors of abill that would eliminate sex-related disparities in federal aid policles.  \nNontraditional students,who typically are older than 25 and squeeze in a fewhours of college courses after work,\"tend disproportionately to be women whoenter school with fewer resources and the responsibilities of family and work,\"said Rep.Pat Williams,D-Mont.,at a news conference last Thursday.  \nThat was also the day Williams and cosponsor Rep.Claudine Schneider,R-R.I.,introduced the Student Financial Aid Equity Act,H.R。3446.The bill aims totackle the three biggest factors needed \"to eliminate sex-related differencesin financial aid,\"Williams said:dependent care expenses,financial aid forhalf-time students and information about federal financial aid.  \nInequitable Policies       \"While the federal government has enabled hundredsof thousands of students to obtain a college degree,\"said Schneider,\"the factof the matter is that policies for awarding student aid do not benefit womenand men students equally.\"  \nCiting statistics from the American Association of University Women(AAUW),which assisted in drafting the legislation,Schneider said that,although morewomen than men receive student aid,on the average they receive smaller awards;  \n$1,236 compared to $1,373.  \nWomen also are more likely to receive loans rather than grants,yet only4 percent of the low-income women applying for Guaranteed Student Loans(GSL)in 1981 received them,as opposed to 10 percent for low-income men.  \nOpening Doors      H.R。3446 is\"designed to open doors for women by giving       them a fair shot at federal financial aid dollars,\"said Schneider.  \nThe measure would make all student financial aid,including GSLs and PellGrants,available to part-time students;provide allowances for transportationand dependent care,including both child care and care of older family mem-bers;and defer loan repayment for a year for women taking maternity leave.  \nThe measure also asks the Education Department to develop and disseminate in-formation about student aid for nontraditional students.  \nWilliams estimated the provisions of the bill would cost ED from $340 millionto $460 million:making Pell Grants available to part-time students wouldrequire an additional $50 million;doing the same with GSLs would cost(more)  \n# NONTRADITIONAL WOMEN STUDENTS TARGETED IN BILL(Cont.)\n\nfrom $100 million to $200 million;and tackling dependent care would costanother $150 million.  \nH.R。3446 emerged from the testimony of nontraditional students during Househearings on the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act of 1965.A8 a re-sult of its participation in the hearings,AAUW assisted Williams in draftingthe measure,according to AAUW spokeswoman Mary Boyette.  \nWilliams said the bill has gained\"significant support,\"including that of Rep.William Ford,R-Mich.,chairman of the House Postsecondary EducationSubcommittee.  \nAAUW President Sarah Harder predicted the bill,which already has the backingof 14 women's organizations,would \"have an extraordinary payoff”for non-traditional women students.--Kristina Brenneman  \n## CIVIL RIGHTS COMMISSION REJECTS COMPARABLE WORTH DOCTRINE\n\nThe U.S.Commission on Civil Rights has rejected the concept of comparableworth as a claim for sex-based wage discrimination and has recommended thatCongress not adopt legislation that would establish comparable worth as a meansto set wages.  \nThe commission,which rejected the concept on a 5-2 vote,has also asked theJustice Department to resist the use of comparable worth through litigation.  \n\"Sex-based wage discrimination is a serious matter,\"the commission said.“However,there are currently existing ways to remedy it,and the implementa-tion of the unsound and misplaced concept","cbCaikll3WAo5RtV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikll3WAo5RtV","pdf",1932927,"English","# NONTRADITIONAL
