Clare Dalton

Clare Dalton is a retired legal scholar in the field of Critical Legal Studies.

Sexual Discrimination case against Harvard Law School

Denial of Tenure

Dalton taught at Harvard Law School from 1981 to 1988.  She applied for and was denied tenure in 1985.  She reapplied and was denied tenure for a second time in 1987; on appeal to then Harvard President Derek Bok, Bok affirmed the denial of her tenure.

Dalton then sued Harvard University claiming sexual discrimination before the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination, which ruled in 1992 that there was "probable cause" that she was discriminated against by Harvard.

Harvard's Settlement and the Northeastern Law School's Domestic Violence Institute

Harvard eventually settled the law by pay US$260,000 to sponsor a new Domestic Violence Institute at Northeastern Law School, with US$80,000 set aside for Dalton's salary as executive director of the institute.

Personal Life

Clare Dalton was previously married to the American economist and Clinton advisor Robert Reich. After retiring from her legal career, she became an acupuncturist.
