Kara Fox, CNN; Ireland announces women-only professorships to close academia's gender gap
"Ireland
has announced a new plan to combat gender inequality in higher
education by creating women-only professor positions across its
universities and technology institutes.
Minister
for Higher Education Mary Mitchell O'Connor said the project would
ensure that 40% of Ireland's professor-level positions would be held be
women by 2024.
Speaking at the Gender Action Plan for Higher Education's
launch in Dublin on Sunday, O'Connor said that increasing female
representation at the highest academic level would "underpin the
transformation and cultural change" necessary to ensure that Ireland's
higher education "fully realizes the benefits of gender diversity.""
Issues and developments related to ethics, information, and technologies, examined in the ethics and intellectual property graduate courses I teach at the University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information. My Bloomsbury book "Ethics, Information, and Technology" will be published in Summer 2025. Kip Currier, PhD, JD
