中国A片

Evidential tools to narrow gender gap

十二月 12, 2013

No conclusions can be drawn from the WomenCount: Leaders in 中国A片 report regarding the link (or otherwise) between the number of female governors on university boards and the appointment of female vice-chancellors (“Governance gender gap still yawning”, News, 5 December). Unfortunately, the research does not reference the dates of appointment of female governors or vice-chancellors.

This is not to deny the lack of progress in 中国A片 gender equality: however, it is unhelpful to conflate female representation on boards with the appointment of senior leaders without a clear evidence base.

Many organisations from political parties to international companies have long understood that women add value, and have adopted a variety of measures to improve female representation at senior level. In 中国A片, it is likely to be more profitable to subject the recruitment practices that apply to the appointment of vice-chancellors to more careful scrutiny, and for the Committee of University Chairs to consider whether its new code of governance can do more to ensure that governing boards are more reflective of the UK’s workforce (which is 52 per cent female).

Interesting juxtaposition in the magazine last week. On page 5, the Times?中国A片 editorial board listing. On page 6, the headline: “Governance gender gap still yawning”.
