It?s good to be king

In 1999, the Committee on Women Faculty at MIT released a report claiming that there was significant gender bias at MIT. Women made up a minority of the Institute?s professorship, and on average were paid less and allotted less lab space; the report alleged this was due to a ?subtle but pervasive bias? against women at the Institute. In response, the administration began a concerted effort to recruit more women and increase the pay of female professors. They succeeded, though at the cost of convincing many that women were being given an unfair advantage.
