I teach CS at a well-known university, and am involved with hiring faculty and recruiting students. There is extreme political pressure to hire females at all levels, from undergraduate students to professor, heads of department, head of school etc. Females at all levels get massively an easier ride in many ways from admission standards to scholarships and research funding. This is an easy way to meet the quotas for hiring.
