A Harvard University professor who accused the school of gender discrimination has withdrawn her resignation, but said Thursday that the school’s landscape architecture department remains a bastion of sexism.Martha Schwartz, 56, complained that the department has never had a tenured female professor in its 106 years.
“I’m not pointing at any one person or any one thing, but this should have happened a long time ago,” Schwartz, who lives in London, said in a telephone interview.
Schwartz, who has taught at the university since 1992 while developing an international landscape architecture practice, submitted a letter of resignation last week.
“How can this lack of parity be allowed to exist in this day and age in any department within Harvard University, no matter how small the department may be?” she wrote in the letter to interim President Derek Bok.
Penn State disputes Anti-Black Discrimination Charge October 20, 2006

Penn State committed no racial discrimination against professor Beverly Lindsay, but it limited her pay raises because she showed only satisfactory job performance, according to the university.
Lindsay, 58, brought a civil lawsuit against Penn State on Sept. 18. She alleged that Penn State repeatedly mistreated her because she is black.
The university, in a 21-page response filed Wednesday, disputed the claims and asked a federal judge to toss the case.
While Lindsay is the only black woman professor in the College of Education, “she is not the only minority full professor,” the Penn State response reads. “Nor is she the only African-American faculty member” within the college.
Penn State hired Lindsay in 1996 as dean for the University Office of International Programs. Six years later, according to the university, Lindsay resigned the deanship and accepted a full professorship.
“This transition occurred as a result of an academic administrative review of (Lindsay’s) performance as dean,” according to the Penn State response.
In the 2003-04 academic year, Lindsay said, she exceeded expectations but “received substantially lower raises than her similarly situated colleagues.” In the next year, she said, she was assigned a heavier workload than those of her mostly white colleagues.
