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.

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: Girls outperform boys.

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.

Girls were allowed to study at Columbia only after the 80s, less than 50 years ago. Give it another 50 years.

This is optimistic. I don't think the pipeline of girls into high level quantitative science work is as strong as you seem to. For example, last year's winning US IMO team had one young woman on it. She was the first one since 2007.

What your saying might happen, but there are a lot of intermediate steps that will be necessary for it.

Google Hannah Cairo. True talent seldom manifests at Olympiads, just another way to coddle boys into doing some work.

No one said girls can't be AMAZING at math, like Hannah. PP said "girls outperform boys" as a blanket statement. I pointed out a significant area where they do not (in aggregate) and everyone went into a frothing rage.

So are the new DEI policies related to race or gender? We know that some schools in the past, particularly the Ivies, balance gender as close to 50-50 as possible. I am not certain this is changing going forward.

The very selective schools are to balance their classes because they have so many qualified applicants there is little difference between genders. The mid to lower schools are where the issues are. Though many people still think DEI applies to women not men- ie push for more women in stem, etc. That all will be going away.

that is a fair assessment

You're really just highlighting an issue of bias. There's a ton of research on why women are heavily represented in some STEM fields and not in others, and it has nothing to do with intellect but social marginalization and harassment. We have similar issues over here in Physics, and it's a damn shame.

Physics is probably worse than math. But in this era of the replication crisis, pardon me if I don't immediately concede your contention of a singular cause (bias) because you handwaved at "a ton of research."

The Supreme Court disagrees.

The Supreme Court was actually pretty divided on their ruling with Uncle Clarence ironically being one of the deciding votes.

DEI applies to any effort to balance the equation. If outcome shows greater percentage of any group over another, DEI is the mechanism deployed to “correct” that.
Oddly enough, though, people only seem to see it as an issue when the inequity of representation exists in roles/professions that are perceived to be coveted and where the underrepresented group is not a white male.
You won’t see a push for DEI initiatives to increase the number of white or Asian males on an NBA team or to increase the number of women (of any race) in the roofers labor union.

By 2028 there will be no college admissions for women
