Some additional data taken from the National Center for Education Statistics (https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d15/tables/dt15_318.30.a...) Bachelor's degrees by sex from 2013-2014: Mathematics, general: 43.9% earned by women (7,420 out of 16,914)
Chemistry, general: 47.7% earned by women (6,556 out of 13,730)
Physics, general: 18.7% earned by women (1,124 out of 6,002)
Computer Science: 14.5% earned by women (1,914 out of 13,220) It seems like all of the gender differences pointed out about women in the diversity memo would apply equally to Physics and Computer Science as they do to Mathematics and Chemistry, but they gender ratio of Mathematics and Chemistry degrees is much closer to 50/50. So why the big difference? |
