That's very smart, fair in an exciting and productive way. I with public schools (and private K-12s for that matter) would adopt and enforce a similar sort of practice for the hiring of administrators and of teachers at every grade level. The top admin spots tend to be filled with males more; the teacher jobs are taken by women, probably because they pay so little.J. K.

Not because men don't like me (AFAIK), but because the people who have been employing me recently have been women, my two doctoral supervisors/advisers are women (one is Head of School and the other is Pro Vice Chancellor, Humanities) and the teams I've been working in have been headed by women. Once the three new senior management people at our university come on line (all women) we will actually have a senior management team that is gender balanced. This is a big change from the arguments we were having at the University Council meetings a couple of years ago about the need for Council committees to have gender representation. This is defined as at least one woman and one man on any committee of 5 or less and at least two women and two men on any that is 6-10.Judy Redmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04350638846246966802noreply@blogger.com
