During her tenure, Clusen was instrumental in bringing issues relating to the environment to national attention. She was especially concerned with water purity, a fixation that stemmed from her time spent in Green Bay where water contamination was a problem.[2] Additionally, Clusen fought for women's rights. She was a leading figure in the League's ultimately unsuccessful attempt to ratify an equal rights amendment for women. Additionally, in her role as president, Clusen served as the presidential debate moderator for Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford.[3] Her role as moderator was famously parodied by Lily Tomlin on Saturday Night Live.[4] After Carter won the election, he appointed Clusen to serve as the Assistant Secretary for the Environment at the United States Department of Energy. She held the position from 1978 to 1981. Clusen worked for a reduction of fossil fuel consumption at the Energy Department. After an unsuccessful bid for the United States Congress, Clusen finished her career as a member of the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents, the governing body of the University of Wisconsin System.[5] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.uwec.edu/newsbureau/bulletin/2004-05/03-28-05/ubinsp05.htm#Clusen|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050412062315/http://www.uwec.edu/NewsBureau/bulletin/2004-05/03-28-05/ubinsp05.htm#Clusen|archive-date=2005-04-12|dead-url=yes|title=UW-Eau Claire University Bulletin|accessdate=April 10, 2015|df=}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.wchf.org/inductees/clusen.pdf|date=April 14, 2002|title=Ruth Clusen 1922–|author=Andrea Wetzel|accessdate=April 10, 2015}} 3. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/17/politics/17clusen.html|title=Ruth Clusen, Civic Leader and U.S. Official, Dies at 82 |newspaper=The New York Times |date=March 17, 2005 |agency=Associated Press |accessdate=June 14, 2016}} 4. ^{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9Tgf-lXwsiAC&pg=PA201&lpg=PA201&dq=clusen+lily+tomlin&source=bl&ots=l6IQmRxwxi&sig=1NmQKziuHpQMGrufJ6WmduKdUCE&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwibud-1pajNAhUGU1IKHYaUCTQQ6AEIZzAN#v=onepage&q=clusen%20lily%20tomlin&f=false |title=The Dance of the Comedians |last=Robinson |first=Peter M. |date=2010 |publisher=University of Massachusetts Press |location=Amherst, MA |isbn=1558497854 |page=201 |accessdate=June 14, 2016}} 5. ^{{cite book|title=Living with History / Making Social Change|author=Lerner, G.|date=2009|publisher=University of North Carolina Press|isbn=9780807887868|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=TNx_DFDPuuoC|page=205|accessdate=April 10, 2015}} External links
