Rector: women first

If it’s up to the Executive Board, several departments could be hiring female assistant professors (UDs) exclusively next year. Rector prof.dr.ir. Hans van Duijn announced the measure at yesterday’s University Council meeting.

The Executive Board decided that in 2012 and 2013 half of all new UDs must be women. Should departments fail to meet the Board’s requirements, the Executive Board considers only approving of the appointment of female assistant professors at those departments from 2014 onwards.
