this news item, highlights the growing possible unfairness, in obtaining professorships in the US the report also states that the science secter is 'dominated' by 'white' males...........

a study conducted showed that 48% of bacherlor's degrees in math were female yet only 8.3% were professors

the research was done between 2000-2002 and took in to account the massachusetts institute of technology.

i agree with the findings, in some secters, there are a proportionally high number of males or 'white' males, i concede that there could be a bias.
