The "Up or Out" tenure policies may have coincided with a visible
emergence of feminism in the late 60's, but there's little causal
connection.  See instead the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
Title IX of the NDEA, establishment/strengthening of EEOC, and other
legislation and/or regulation that affected colleges and universities
that received a stated sum of federal funding.

Another influence was a result of 1960's activism (use of racism as
model for other oppressions, increasing prominence of neomarxism,
etc.): there were educated people of color, women, and white single
men (people were marrying later than in the fifties) discovering the
oppression of "a family wage" for some, and a part-time position for
others.
