| MIT just announced its 18th President will be Sally Kornbluth, who is leaving Duke after nearly 20 years there as a professor and later provost! She will be MIT’s second ever woman president ever, which I think is amazing for all girls who are thinking about a career in STEM to see! Leading the top technological institution in the world is no small task, so congrats to her! |
Very nice, she seems very capable and accomplished, and hopefully it inspires the next generation of women who want to be leaders in STEM. |
|
She is not qualified and doesn’t even compare to any of the previous ores ideas. In the dhevsgoykd be tucked up the ads and threshed tibthe curb?
JFC! Égards juggernaut |
| And she went to Williams! |

Wonder when the virtue signaling will end. Celebrating the first ever woman president is not enough, now we need to celebrate every female president that comes after?
MIT is already 50-50 male/female (for which the admission process is heavily tilted against men for obvious reasons). Interesting that out of the past 6 presidents of MIT, all four male presidents been engineering Ph.D's while both female presidents have been life science Ph.D's. |
Yeah, it’s, like, so interesting that a field that has very few women in it has produced very few women presidents. It definitely means… something. |
Yeah, it's like, so interesting that women are doing well in academia when female college enrollment has exceeded male enrollment since like 1980. It definitely means... something. (polite golf clapping) |
| Nobody worries about all the signaling for non-URM boys to stop pursuing STEM fields? With all the awards, leadership and faculty positions these days being heavily tilted in terms of gender and URM status? |
|
Does this mean something?
Kornbluth has overseen ... the launch of the WHU-Duke Research Institute in collaboration with Duke and Wuhan universities in 2014.[16] |
| Rice university just appointed their first African American president ever. |
Not all is tilting, otgers just getting to participate and have a chance. |
| Their first choice was Ben Sasse, but Florida got him instead. |
Nice! |
