I think what should be focused on first is getting more diverse people majoring in computer science.
In my graduating class (2017) the ethnic ratio was 80% white 20% Asian. All men. This was a private liberal arts school where 60% of the student population was female, so it's not like it was an engineering school with no women.
Since I've graduated there have been a few women and other ethnicities but still way more white men.
There were a few women my year who started out as cs majors but switched as underclassman.
That being said, I'm not sure why this is. In other hard/scientific (math, natural science, etc.) majors there were way more women then men.
