Vol. XII., No. 38 Bowling Green State University

Forum addresses ageism and stereotyping

Growing old: Elderly face discrimination Old age is both unavoidable and

typically undesiled. The elderly, usually people age 65 and older, encounter problems from declining health to insufficient budgets. They also lace unique forms of discrimination based on their age.

"How Old Aie You," the topic of the seventh Affirmative Action University Forum. addressed the social, economic and employment issues of ageism or age discrimination.

Or. Edward Morgan, gerontology, one of three panel members at the forum, explained how linguistics can reflect ageism as well as sexism and racism in our society.

"Traced back to the 18th century, words fike gaffer and fogie, which used to mean a wounded military veteran, began to hold a less positive meaning in society," Morgan said. "For women, names fike hag, crone and old maid can

be traced back 400 years." Today, Morgan said, the idea that

"women age and men mature" captures a similar vein of stereotyping.

Using chronology from a book by David F1SCher. Growing Old In America, Morgan outlined the development of old age as a social problem. From roughly 1600 to 1820, he said old age was respected, in what is called "gerontophilia."

Then, from 1780 to 1970. Morgan used FISCher's example of "gerontophma," or the glorification of youth, to describe the current state of society.

"Twelve percent of our population is currently over 60, and that figure will rise to 22 percent by 2030," Morgan said.

He said old age is considered an unattractive file stage for many younger people who create stereotypes of senility, sexlessness and old-fashioned

attitudes for our older citizens. Part of these ageism problems includes

a focus on economic issues. Cheryl Carothers, coordinator of the Geriatrics Education Center in the College of Health and Human Services, said the prevalent betief about wealthy elderly citizens as "greedy geezers" is simply untrue.

"Fourteen percent of our elderly population is at the poverty level." she said. "which is the highest of any adult population. Only children, with 20. 7 percent in poverty, rank higher than the elderly."

carothers said if it were not for the Social Security System. more than 50 percent of the elderly would be in poverty. She also said the way poverty levels are determined for the elderly creates further economic problems for the elderly.

ASC suggests guidelines for screening committees Members of Administrative Staff

Council passed a resolution at their April 6 meeting providing some guidefines to be used by screening committees in the hiring of administrative personnel.

In explaining the resolution, Norma Stickler. ASC secretary, said concern had been raised that some screening committees for administrative personnel positions had no administrative staff members. "When we are selecting our peers, we think we should participate." she said.

Another point of concern was that sometimes the supervisor is riamed chair of the committee hiring a staff member for the supervisor's department. The proposed resolution eliminates this situation in order to to prevent undue bias, although a supervisor can serve as a member of a screening committee.

The approved resolution reads: ··The screening committee of three to six individuals is formed as soon as the position is advertised, and its composition is mutuaUy agreed upon between the hiring department and Administrative Staff Personnel Services. Screening Committees for administrative staff positions should ordinanly be composed of administrative staff members; however, when the position is one that has a direct relationship with students. faculty or classified staff as a constituency. there should be representation from that respective group. The majority of the screening committee should be administrative staff and there should be both male and female membership. If the position is one that has an impact in other vice presidential areas, representatives from some of those areas should be included on the search committee. Neither the

A recommendation for the handbook on procedures for mar1<et adjustments in salaries also was <flSCJ issed and wiU be voted on at the May 4 meeting. Administrative employees currently can request mari<et adjustments in their salaries, but the recommendation would provide a procedure to follow. including

the involvement of Administrative Staff Personnel Services.

The recommendation reads: "In situation.c; where the salary of an administrative staff member is not competitive with other comparable positions, a market adjustment in salary can be requested. Administrative staff members shaD seek the guidance of

Risky business: You still have to look both ways before crossing street Just about every faculty. staff member or student can recaD a time when he or she

was almost sideswiped by a car or truck when using a crosswalk. Ask all pedestrians who had the right of way and they'll say they did. Ask the drivers

and they'D say they did. Regardless whether pedestrians actuany had the right of way or not, they are going

to wind up as the losers in a confrontation with a vehicle.

According to Jean YameD, parking and traffic, many University employees and students have the misconception that they always have the right of way when crossing a street. However, right of way laws binding pedestrians and motoriSts are exactly the same on the campus as on any other street in the state of Ohio.

Section 4511.46 of the Ohio Motor Vehicle Laws states pedestrians on crosswalks have the right of way. However, section 4511.48 states this right of way is yielded to the vehicle when a pedestrian crosses a street at any place other than a crosswalk.

City Police Chief Galen Ash said if a pedestrian has not stepped off the curb yet and sees an approaching vehicle, the vehicle has the right of way to continue traveling. But if the pedestrian has stepped off the curt> and is in the crosswalk, he or she has the right of way and the vehicle must yield.

''There is a very fine line to that test as to who has the right of way," Ash said. "It's often a game of chance, but it's the pedestrian's responsibility to wait unbl he can cross safely."

If the pedestrian steps in front of a vehicle and is hit, the pedestrian can be liable, not the driver.

The campus has several crosswalks on city streets that have concerned police about pedestrian safety. Ash said closing off a section of Ridge Street has relieved some of the problems where students cross between Prout HaD and the Math Science Building.

Another heavily used crosswalk is the one in front of the Administration Building on Thurstin Avenue. Ash called the two-block area in front of the building dangerous beca• ise of the high amount of traffic on it and cars often travel at faster speeds.

Flashing lights and a sign "Pedestrians Crossing" mark the crosswalk, but Ash said near-hits still ocar.

For example, Carother quoted an annual income of $5,600 for a Single person under age 64 as marking the poverty level, when $5, 100 one year later at age 65 marks poverty.

Almost 20 percent of an elderly person's income goes to out-of-pocket medical expenses not covered by insurance, leaving little to cover other living expenses.

Carothers said it was time to stop "stealing from the plates and pill bottles of our grandparents.·· It is time to find a fair solution for the poverty problems, she added.

more satisfied with their work. "The idea that older workers can't perform as well as younger workers does not widely apply."

Rnding ways to keep the elderly in the work force will be a key question in the 21st century, Hiltner said. Today. mandatory retirement rules force many qualified workers out of jobs which sometimes are filled by lesser-qualified. younger workers.

Hiltner said this problem also affects tenured university professors as well as non-traditional aged students who are forced to serve on inactive academic committees or are denied admission to schools based on the supposed limitations of their age.

Handicapped issues are topic of final forum

Since the implementation of the Rehabilitation Act of 1 9 7 3. which outlines the responsibilities of public higher education institutions toward the disabled. the number of disabled students attending colleges and universities has risen dramatically. Rob Cunningham, coordinator of Handicapped Services, said at the Affirmative Action University Forum held April 1 9.

.. The Handicapped and the University: Rights and Responsibilities·· was the topic of the final forum in the series sponsored by the affirmative action office.

Cunningham was joined by Sharon Talarico. a counselor with the Rehabilitation Services Commission Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation in Bowling Green and Donna Feorene. a school psychologist with the Wood County Board of Education.

.. As more students with disabilities enter colleges and universities campus service providers are confronted with the challenge to offer programs and services that are most useful to this group, .. Cunningham said. More than the structural and architectural changes mandated by law are needed to ensure attitudinal and physical accessibility for disabled students. he said.

Suggested services include pre-admissions counsering and orientation. training for faculty and staff in how to deal with the students' special needs, academic support services, and career placement assistance upon graduation.

Cunningham said vague wording in the Rehabiritation Act law has made it difficult to implement and the law is subject to different interpretations. A lack of legal direction by the courts compounds the problem and some universities have chosen to resist the law in the face of insufficient budget allocations. he said.

He said there is no clear standard on campuses of what is considered "reasonable accomodation" for disabled

students.
