[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a faculty member/chair at a STEM-focused university. From the perspective of the Trump Administration, DEI does include women. We have received guidance from the DOE and DOJ that includes gender within the context of federally-funded grants, admissions programs that consider gender (e.g., recruiting, scholarships, etc.), hiring initiatives, and leadership programs.

[b]Not in the context of college admissions.[/b]  Girls outperform boys by a mile in colleges.

Higher up in academic settings, yes, women are being discriminated still.  Fewer female professors in colleges, even fewer in leadership positions.  But I think these positions are currently occupied by a lot of aged male professors, they will be gone in a few years by force of nature.  I wouldn't worried too much about DEI for women.[/quote]

That is not entirely true. Admissions is broader than AO's making decisions about denial/acceptance. I was referring to admissions practices around recruitment/marketing and merit scholarships. For example, we have received guidance that recruitment efforts to increase the number of female applicants in STEM falls under DEI or scholarship earmarked for women-only.

You missed the main point:  [b]Girls outperform boys[/b].  [/quote]

Maybe at being average-exceptional in terms of college admissions. Only two women have won a Fields Medal. Men still outperform at the far upper bound.[/quote]
