New York Times: “Yale researchers,” reports Kenneth Chang on the front page of the Times‘s weekly Science Times section, “found that science professors at American universities widely regard female undergraduates as less competent than male students with the same skills and accomplishments.” The researchers published their article, “Science faculty’s subtle gender biases favor male students,” in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The study involved biologists, chemists, and physicists at three private and three public major but unnamed research universities. The pervasive bias appears likely to affect mentoring and job and salary offers, “probably reflect[s] subconscious cultural influences,” and occurs equally among women and men.
