When colleges and universities release reports about the state of gender equity on their faculties, administrators quickly follow up with a caveat: The numbers may look out of balance over all, they say, but that's because most of the senior professors are all men, and the greater share of women among junior professors provides reassurance that things will get better over time. Do you believe it's fair to hire professors based on gender? Why or why not?

Gender, Majors and Money
http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2009/08/10/majors
This research links women's and men's college majors with earning gaps by gender, after graduation. And even as the earning gaps nationally have declined, the study says, the share of the gap attributable to college major has grown. Do you see any correlation in your own major to what the study shows? Why do you think this is?
