  Mark Crouch, an associate professor of labor studies at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne, said the lack of women among the top wage earners is a remnant of the days when discrimination was tolerated.
  
  ,I,m not surprised by it at all,, Crouch said. ,But I don,t think there,s anything you can infer about it, like that the situation is deliberate., It,s the lingering effects of hiring decisions made long ago which tended to exclude women.,
  
  Although making hiring or promotional decisions based on race or gender is now the rare exception, its practice even years ago means there are fewer women to move into top positions today, whether the employer is the city of Fort Wayne or a private business.
  
  ,The women don,t show up because (fair hiring) hasn,t been in place that long,, Crouch said.
  
  Still, times have changed, he said, and the faces of decision makers will continue to look more and more like the faces in the community, he said.
  ...
  There are other factors at work besides the lasting effects of discrimination, Crouch said, pointing out that though public service jobs are known for job security and good benefits, they are not known for great paychecks.

  But Mark Crouch, associate professor of labor studies at IPFW, said the budget problems have been resolved and now IU is trying to derail the program.
  ...
  Crouch said he worries that if the division loses its autonomy, it will also lose its 60-year-old mission - to serve the needs of organized labor.
  
  "If we're gone, there goes a voice for working people," he said.
  
  IPFW's department has 14 students working on labor studies majors with a total of 116 students taking online and traditional classroom courses.
  
  But more than 100 other students are enrolled in non-credit courses conducted for organized labor, Crouch said.Statewide, there are about 100 students pursuing labor studies majors.
  
  The number of students enrolling in labor courses grows each year, Crouch said, and this year the entire division is already collecting more money than expected.
  
  "When you see that kind of thing it makes you wonder why would they want to get rid of a money-making program?"he said.

  Associate professor Mark Crouch said another 100-plus students take noncredit classes at IPFW each year.
  ...
  "We wind up standing up for the little guy, and obviously that is not a popular thing in today's culture," said Crouch, who is tenured with more than 25 years in Fort Wayne."If we are no longer available, that means they have just eliminated another source of information, choice and research for the little guy."
  
  Crouch employs adult-education techniques designed for students returning to a classroom for the first time in many years."So people who have not been in class for 20 years find out they are not as stupid as they thought they were," he said.
  
  Crouch said the labor studies department opens doors for these students, encouraging them to move into credit classes.
  
  If the department is suspended or eliminated, tenured faculty would be absorbed into other schools at their campus.
