Makes it sound like increasing under-represented faculty is a one man (woman) job. It’s not decided singlehandedly…..or, at least, it didn’t used to be.
There are issues regarding women at IU’s school of music. I hope a woman dean will help change things.
They’ll be coming for East Asians next … he’ll, they probably are already.
The biggest number of piano and violin students are in China/Korea/Japan: does that make Caucasians an under-represented group?
Where does this nonsense stop?
What nonsense, Terence? Do explain. All I see in this article is that there is a new Dean at a music school. It doesn’t say anything about her being picked solely because she’s a woman.
So, do share with us what you mean by ‘nonsense’.
It DOES say that picking “underrepresented faculty” was one of the main reasons she was hired. So that does mean something.
“Under represented faculty” . Chilling words which don’t bode well.
‘Under represented faculty’, exactly, what on earth does it ‘imply’ I.e. what ‘unspoken, implied’ nonsense
First of all, one no longer needs to be a woman to be the first woman anything. Get used to that. Take women’s sport for example: It’s over. Jockstraps have entered the locker room under a different name.
