 Johns Hopkins Asks Itself, Why So Few Women?
One-third of the medical school's junior faculty are women, but "those numbers aren't filtering up at the rate one would expect," said Cynthia Wolberger, professor of biophysics and co-chair of the Women's Leadership Council, which presented the report to Miller in January.
Women at Johns Hopkins say that the reason that after more than a decade of pushing for change, are women unable to move up the faculty ranks is that the piecemeal remedies of the 1990s failed to change the school's male-dominated culture.
The tenure track at Johns Hopkins does not enforce a strict "up or out" policy--a common policy whereby professors who fail to meet promotion criteria by a certain deadline are fired--allowing some flexibility.
