Norman is satisfied ! Mirga for president !
Wait no one is surprised by the fact that more than half are students of juries?
The two Chinese are students from shanghai’s Yu, and Ting is Schwartberg’s student, while Nancy Zhou took lessons with Dumay
That’s terrible
As long as their gender was not an overt or covert selection criterion, then an all one gender final is not a problem. From a large group of evenly mixed males and females, you might expect six finalists to be all one gender in about 2 competitions in 64, and half of them would be all female.
More telling would be the gender balance of applicants, the student population.
Let’s hope there are no calls for a minimum number of male, or female finalists. Or left handlers, or ethnic backgrounds, or nationalities.
But students of jurors ? Oops, that does look like covert selection criteria.
