Abstract | 15 Prozent der Professuren an deutschen Hochschulen sind von Frauen besetzt. Die Zahlen steigen, allerdings im Schneckentempo - das kann sich ein moderner Staat wie Deutschland nicht länger leisten. Schließlich arbeiten in anderen Ländern deutlich mehr Wissenschaftlerinnen in hohen Positionen. Mit "Gleichstellungsstandards" und einem Professorinnenprogramm sollen nun auch hierzulande Frauen in Wissenschaft und Forschung stärker zum Zuge kommen. (HoF/Text übernommen). 15 percent of German university professors are women. This figure is rising, but only at a snail's pace. Now that will change. The German federal and state governments will jointly fund some 200 professorships at institutions that present convincing equal opportunity policies. The German Research Foundation (DFG) has adopted "research-oriented equal opportunity standards." These standards are to be implemented by 2013, and will become criteria for the government's funding of higher education. the universities are being challenged to stand up for their equal employment goals. Demands for quotas that would require appointing women to a certain number of professorships, and hence a cultural transformation in the German academic system, are perennial. Female candidates continue to receive arbitrary evaluations from appointments committees. There is a lack of transparency in appointments, and sometimes a lack of legally binding equal opportunity criteria. Those who are not members of certain informal networks are out of luck. This is where academic women are particularly disadvantaged. Furthermore, the maintly male members of appointments committees tend to look for a candidate who "fits in" with them - and that usually means another man. (HoF/text adopted). |
