(19,800 posts)I graduated in 82 when I was part of the only around 10% female student population. Just checked in 2024 it had improved to 44%. Now will likely go backwards. No doubt the school is afraid of losing research dollars and likely some racism/misogyny to top it off.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
