In a report recently issued by the Committee on Women Faculty in the School of Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), top school administrators acknowledged that female professors in MIT's School of Science have suffered from a prolonged pattern of discrimination in the areas of "salary, space, awards, [and] resources." The report, "A Study on the Status of Women Faculty in Science at MIT," is publicly available in a special online edition of the The MIT Faculty Newsletter. The newsletter outlines the history of the Committee, highlights the findings of the five-year study, and provides recommendations for the future.
