On Sept. 27, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford testified against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, accusing him of sexual assault 36 years ago. On Oct. 6, however, Kavanaugh was confirmed to the highest court in the land by the Senate by a vote of 50-48. While the prevalence of the #MeToo movement and incidents of sexual assault and harassment being uncovered by the press give the illusion that we have made progress on these issues, these recent events are reminiscent of another woman’s struggle back in 1991 — Anita Hill.

Paid parental leave benefits for new parents were expanded in Virginia last June following an executive order signed by Gov. Ralph Northam. This order applies to state employees and provides eight weeks of leave at full pay to both mothers and fathers. As a public institution, this order applies to the University, and this month President Jim Ryan announced plans to expand on this order by offering paid family leave to part-time salaried staff as well. Ryan’s expansion puts the University’s leave policy at around the median offered at the 205 U.S. and Canadian universities surveyed by the University of Colorado, but it is still far more generous than the status quo for most Americans.
