Boston Globe: Harvard improves tenure offers to women
During a year in which the status of women at Harvard University was the focus of unprecedented attention, the university’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences reversed the decline in tenured job offers to women that occurred in each of the first three years of Lawrence H. Summers’s presidency.
Of the 33 offers of tenured jobs made during the academic year just concluded, nine were to women, or 27 percent. During the previous year, only four of 32 tenured offers, or 13 percent, went to women.
