FORT COLLINS FOCUS OFF THE OVAL Elite universities have a gender problem: Too few female professors STANFORD, Calif. — In its 125 years, Stanford University has spawned legendary tech companies and claims 32 Nobel laure- ates, but has yet to solve a pressing problem on its own campus: the lack of women on its faculty. Only about one-fourth of the professors at Stanford are women, a disparity that is even more lopsided at the top: Of its full professors, a rarefied group with great power and influence over their respective fields, only 22 percent are women. It’s a problem at elite uni- versities across the nation, but Stanford’s imbalance is greater than most: Of the schools ranked in the top 10 by U.S. News & World Report, only the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Caltech had lower percentag- es of women on their faculties.

Columbia University in New York City has the highest rep- resentation of women among top 10-ranked schools _ about 40 percent, including those in its medical center _ but among its full professors, roughly a quarter are women. In the nation’s four-year public and private colleges in 2013, roughly 43 percent of faculty were women, but only 28 percent of full professors. Stanford says it has devoted $325 million to two programs to support women and un- derrepresented-minority scholars and has instituted family-friendly policies, such as pushing back the tenure deadline for new parents _ and that it is proud of the progress it has made. About 39 percent of its ju- nior faculty are women, up from 33 percent a decade ago. “This trend provides clear evidence that at least at Stan- ford the move toward gender equity in the professoriate has not stalled,” said Karen Cook, a Stanford sociology professor and the university’s vice provost of faculty development and diversity. The advancement of women at Stanford is another concern. A little over two years ago, after sharing frustrations over dinner about what seemed like a lack of women in leadership, a group of Stanford professors decided to see if the numbers reflected their experiences. The group’s findings were striking, though they stressed that the figures in their 2014 report were merely estimates based on publicly available data: Women leaders oversaw just 14.2 percent of the university’s budget, and led schools with 5.5 percent of Stanford’s faculty. Provost John Etchemendy created a task force on women’s leadership in response to the findings. Later that year, Stan- ford named a woman, physics professor Persis Drell, as dean of its School of Engineering. Drell’s appointment and other steps encourage Andrea Goldsmith, who was part of the study group and is one of five women in the university’s electrical engineering depart- ment. Now, as a member of the provost’s task force, she said its recommendations, due this year, will include removing lead- ership barriers, nurturing those with leadership potential, and regular data reports on how the 8 O OPINION Monday, March 7, 2016 LTTE: Response to ‘Adaptations like ‘Fratagonia’ take group conformity too far’ By Kyrie Hill, my best friends in a fraternity rado.
