Congress is holding hearings (which is never good) about gender disparities in fields in higher education in which there are more men than women.Universities and colleges should examine their practices and consider ways that they can encourage talented women to explore and remain engaged in these fields. But they should do so not in a desire to reach some government quota, but because women have much to offer in terms of research and other contributions. We shouldn't assume that the optimal make up of any department or field will be equal numbers of men and women: our goal should be to ensure that men and women both are welcomed to pursue study and careers in any area they choose.That sounds right, but it may be too subtle for Congress. þInstapundit |
