'It finds that it took female employees 8.5 years longer than their male colleagues, on average, to achieve associate professor status. It then took a further 6.1 years more for women to secure full professorships, according to lead author Richard Harris, professor of economics'.

I know why I left the university after my bachelor. And it was not because the field I was working in wasn't interesting 🙃

This headline, of course, does not mention all the deserving women who never achieve the rank of Prof. 15 years is a long time to be forced to wait.

I can’t read it. Does it say why? Is it a bigger teaching load, endless microdiscriminations, or what?

Service trap—more student mentoring, more committees. I have seen and experienced it for 25 years, and I’m still an associate prof.

The issue is if 100 men are trying to be professors and only 15 women then the women are naturally less likely to get a place. That's why women wait longer on average. Its a shallow market.
