They also don’t tell you how MANY women are in the programs.
Maybe only 36% of participants are women! That means - 100% of the women that participate are graduating!
Good God.
I am a woman. I had lots of difficulty with “introductory” classes. Had repeats in a better school. Got past that, graduated from high-rated engineering school with 3.4 GPA.
We had some women in that school’s program; not many, but there were a few besides me. In work, there were more women than at school. Still not overwhelming, but definitely there.
There are probably more now, but likely not much more.
I don’t care. Are we supposed to force women (or any group) into certain areas all for the name of “equity”?
“Are we supposed to force women (or any group) into certain areas all for the name of “equity”?”
Not force, but lower standards until “equitable” outcomes are achieved. It’s truly irrational, but that’s the way the social Justice warriors think.
So you can have a program or law that treats everyone the same regardless of sex or race, but if there’s disparate impact, i.e. a difference in outcome, that program must be racist or misogynistic. The only exception is for white males. If they are underrepresented, no one cares.
