‘Professors Are Prejudiced, Too’

Dolly Chugh, Katherine L. Milkman and Modupe Akinola, writing for the New York Times:

Professors were more responsive to white male students than to female, black, Hispanic, Indian or Chinese students in almost every discipline and across all types of universities. We found the most severe bias in disciplines paying higher faculty salaries and at private universities. In a perverse twist of academic fate, our own discipline of business showed the most bias, with 87 percent of white males receiving a response compared with just 62 percent of all females and minorities combined.

Depressing and fascinating at the same time.
