Feminist legal scholar
Clare Dalton is a theorist and advocate in feminist legal theory at Harvard Law School and Northeastern Law School.. Her gender discrimination case against Harvard Law School, which resulted in the Law School settling with a US$260,000 payment to found a domestic violence institute, attracted national attention and was credited as a major development in feminism in US legal academia.
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 paying 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. The Domestic Violence Institute continues to be active as of 2023.
Significance
Dalton’s success in holding an elite law school to account attracted national attention at the time and was reported by the New York Times, Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune and the Chronicle of Higher Education.
In 2010, Dalton's achievements in feminist scholarship and advocacy is recognised in a special issue of Brooklyn Law School's open-access journal Journal of Law and Policy, where Harvard Law Professor Martha Minow described Dalton's creation of the Domestic Violence Institute at Northeastern Law School as "landmark and vital" and celebrated her holding Harvard to account and negotiating a settlement that enabled its funding
Personal life
Dalton was previously married to the American economist and Clinton advisor Robert Reich. After retiring from her legal career, she became an acupuncturist.
