In my university (not US), women are over-represented in academic positions. With an equivalent resume, a woman is much more likely to get hired compared to a man.
- cropsieboss 9y agoThis is becoming true for most of the first world. Women are more successful in educational institutions than men on average already.

- lorenzhs 9y agoWell why wouldn't you hire the minority candidate given otherwise identical qualifications? Among others, this encourages students of said minorities to apply, leading to more qualified applicants. How you construe this as a negative is beyond me. Furthermore, there's still only around 15% women in CS here. Less among faculty. And you respond with a critique of diversity to a story detailing the awful crap women have to face every day during their studies?
