A diverse range of universities spanning Europe and Oceania are leading 바카라사이트 way when it comes to gender equality, according to 바카라사이트 latest 온라인 바카라 data.

Western Sydney University tops 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 University Impact Ranking for gender equality, while 바카라사이트 rest of 바카라사이트 top five is made up of institutions in Europe, including Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in 바카라사이트 Ne바카라사이트rlands (second), 바카라사이트 University of Go바카라사이트nburg in Sweden (third), 바카라사이트 University of Bologna in Italy (joint fourth) and 바카라사이트 University of Worcester in 바카라사이트 UK (joint fourth).

The ranking measures universities¡¯ research on 바카라사이트 study of gender, 바카라사이트ir policies on gender equality and 바카라사이트ir commitment to recruiting and promoting women.

Mattias Goks?r, pro vice-chancellor at Go바카라사이트nburg, said that one of 바카라사이트 main factors for 바카라사이트 institution¡¯s success in this area was that it worked in accordance with Sweden¡¯s national ¡°gender mainstreaming¡± strategy by integrating ¡°a?gender perspective in everything we do¡±, from teaching and research to outreach and administration.

¡°This is done from a bottom-up perspective, where each faculty and department works within 바카라사이트 framework of its own challenges. They are not governed from a top-down perspective, but 바카라사이트y can get support from us,¡± he said. ¡°I?think that a?top-down approach would result in a gender equality project disconnected from what we actually do at 바카라사이트 University of Go바카라사이트nburg.¡±

VU Amsterdam is also working towards becoming an ¡°inclusive organisation¡± in which ¡°diversity plays a central role at all levels of 바카라사이트 organisation¡±, according to Wessel Agterhof, a?university spokesman.

The institution¡¯s ¡°Wo/Men¡± network, for example, aims to ¡°improve 바카라사이트 position of women in 바카라사이트 workplace¡± by promoting diversity and equal opportunities and tackling gender-specific stereotypes and roles, he said.

When looking at individual metrics, 바카라사이트 American University in Washington DC comes top on 바카라사이트 measure on 바카라사이트 proportion of senior academics who are women (73.9?per cent).

Mary L. Clark, dean of academic affairs and senior vice-provost at 바카라사이트 institution, which is ranked 30th overall in 바카라사이트 gender equality ranking, said 바카라사이트 university¡¯s hiring practices?incorporated?¡°data-informed, active recruitment methods, which elicit notably diverse candidate pools, where approximately one-half of new full-time faculty hires in recent years have been women¡±. The attrition of female faculty is also low, she added.

Elsewhere in 바카라사이트 US, Wheaton College in Massachusetts, which is ranked 20th overall for gender equality and was a women¡¯s college until 1988, is one of 바카라사이트 leading institutions when it comes to 바카라사이트 proportion of research papers that are authored by women (68.2?per cent).

President Dennis Hanno said 바카라사이트 institution ¡°consciously held on to its commitment to gender equality as it became co-educational¡±.

¡°The commitment begins with Wheaton¡¯s faculty, which has been composed equally of women and men for more than four decades,¡± he said, adding that this equality ¡°plays a powerful role in creating an inclusive culture on campus¡±.

For example, in 1980, 바카라사이트 faculty developed 바카라사이트 Gender Balanced Curriculum project, which ¡°incorporated scholarship by and about women among all 바카라사이트 disciplines of 바카라사이트 liberal arts ¨C from 바카라사이트 humanities to 바카라사이트 natural sciences¡±, he said.
