How is it toxic if representation doesn't even equal general populace? Men are clearly getting in no problem. This isn't a case of over correction, it's about seeing if they can look past historical biases towards men and be more open towards hiring for the future.
The study you linked describes current faculty expressing a desire to bring it towards a balance.
I'm not sure where the toxicity is created.
- malandrew 11y ago"more than half of the executives are women" === over-correction Would it be okay for a company to only hire women as executives since women are a minority of the executives in this industry? Technically that isn't over-correction using your definition. "The study you linked describes current faculty expressing a desire to bring it towards a balance." So if you've got XY chromosomes and you're finishing your post-graduate degree who is a solid candidate for a position in academia and that is where you want to work, then you're getting screwed right now through absolutely no fault of your own just because you happen to have XY chromosomes. That candidate is paying for the failures of past generations. Do you think that is fair?
