Bias Persists for Women of Science, a Study Finds
Science professors at American universities widely regard female undergraduates as less competent than male students with the same accomplishments and skills, a new study by researchers at Yale concluded.
As a result, the report found, the professors were less likely to offer the women mentoring or a job. And even if they were willing to offer a job, the salary was lower.
Female professors were just as biased
against women students as their male colleagues, and biology professors just as
biased as physics professors — even though more than half of biology majors are
women, whereas men far outnumber women in physics.
Surely we should be past this – I
frequently read of men who say there is no glass ceiling – and even some women!
