This raises questions about why a university might take this approach.<\/p>\n<p>While Australia has had gender equality legislation for 30 years, there has been very slow progress towards addressing the gender equity issues plaguing the sector. To illustrate, women are still\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.universitiesaustralia.edu.au\/uni-participation-quality\/Equity-and-Participation\/Women-in-universities\/Universities-Australia-Executive-Women-Group#.W4Sp5yQza70\">under-represented at senior levels<\/a>. Only 27% of full professors (the main recruitment pool for top jobs) are women, and only 32% of Vice-Chancellors in public universities.<\/p>\n<p>One of the principal reasons women don\u2019t reach leadership roles is women are concentrated in fewer disciplines. Women\u2019s academic employment in the science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) disciplines is particularly\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chiefscientist.gov.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/OCS_Women_in_STEM_datasheet.pdf\">low at 17%<\/a>. This under-representation of women in STEM and higher education leadership is a result of multiple barriers to women\u2019s career progression.<\/p>\n<div data-react-class=\"Tweet\" data-react-props='{\"tweetId\":\"1033886669827493889\"}'><\/div>\n<p>Posting job openings in male-dominated fields to specifically target women is one of the most direct and immediate measures to bring about change.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Does selective recruitment work against the merit principal?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>One of the concerns raised when employment targets are implemented is that women will be appointed unfairly over more qualified male candidates. But the intention of selective recruitment is to address the problem that qualified women are discouraged and excluded from academic employment.<\/p>\n<p>The corporatisation of higher education has led to the growth of contract and casual positions in academia. This often results in little prospect of career progression. While these conditions impact all academics, women work in academia under different conditions to men.<\/p>\n<p>For example, women are\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/research-repository.griffith.edu.au\/bitstream\/handle\/10072\/57321\/90918_1.pdf?sequence=1&amp;isAllowed=y\">more likely<\/a>\u00a0to be employed as sessional workers, at lower pay levels and have interrupted career development. Women are effectively held back or slowed down in many ways men are not, making the long-term goal of academic tenure and progression illusive.<\/p>\n<p>So, despite being\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.universitiesaustralia.edu.au\/australias-universities\/key-facts-and-data#.W4SuRyQza70\">over-represented<\/a>\u00a0overall at undergraduate and entry level in academia, women are still underrepresented in STEM disciplines and at senior academic levels. The disciplinary culture of STEM favours men who have an uninterrupted focus on research for decades. It also doesn\u2019t make these careers attractive to younger men, and particularly to younger women, who\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/files.eric.ed.gov\/fulltext\/EJ1073638.pdf\">value work-life balance<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The implementation of targets is designed to address these barriers and expand the potential academic talent pool.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Barriers to women getting into and staying in academia<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Women in academic leadership roles have often successfully negotiated with and navigated gendered leadership cultures at the cost of expending considerable energy to fit in to this masculinist culture. Not surprisingly, a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/07294360.2013.864611\">study<\/a>\u00a0found younger academic women examined then dismissed leadership careers in higher education.<\/p>\n<div data-react-class=\"Tweet\" data-react-props='{\"tweetId\":\"785347240692809728\"}'><\/div>\n<p>The other\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/1360080X.2013.812179\">study<\/a>, conducted in Australia, found the managers and colleagues of mid-career women academics were commonly unsupportive or even actively discriminatory or hostile. A 2004 Australian\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.emeraldinsight.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1108\/09513550410554760\">case study<\/a>\u00a0found these women were subject to bullying from senior managers.<\/p>\n<p>This has made academic careers, particularly in STEM, either unattractive or unsustainable for many of the next generation of women leaders.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Do quotas work?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Evidence suggests quotas in higher education do work.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in Austria national legislation was introduced to require university bodies such as the senate and all commissions appointed by the senate to meet a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.com.au\/books?id=oGuADAAAQBAJ&amp;pg=PA67&amp;lpg=PA67&amp;dq=austria+40%25+gender+quota+university&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=ygD-XVWmVI&amp;sig=oWrQpkPysI8Rmslih4ey2ki9kE0&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjZrKLQ6o7dAhXXzmEKHfAtBSo4ChDoATAEegQIBhAB#v=onepage&amp;q=austria%2040%25%20gender%20quota%20university&amp;f=false\">quota of 40%<\/a>\u00a0female members. By 2016 all but one of the university councils had fulfilled this quota. The quota was\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.eui.eu\/genderquotas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2015\/04\/Executive-summary-Austria-Gresch-Sauer-2.pdf\">raised to 50%<\/a>\u00a0in 2014.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Do anti-discrimination laws support or prevent this?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Cross-national structures such as the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.oecd.org\/\">OECD<\/a>\u00a0and EU, driven by market logic, are\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.oecd.org\/finance\/financial-markets\/women-in-economics-the-unknown-cost-of-gender-imbalance-2018.htm\">concerned<\/a>about the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/eige.europa.eu\/gender-mainstreaming\/policy-areas\/economic-and-financial-affairs\/economic-benefits-gender-equality\">loss to society<\/a>\u00a0when highly educated women are excluded or marginalised.<\/p>\n<p>This concern is shared by the professions. For example, the engineering profession notes women\u2019s higher attrition in engineering is a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.aced.edu.au\/downloads\/ACED%20Engineering%20Stats%2031%20Jan%202017.pdf\">cost<\/a>\u00a0that should be addressed.<\/p>\n<p>Linking commitment on getting more women into leadership roles to funding appears to be one of the most effective ways of increasing women\u2019s representation in academia. This has been demonstrated by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecu.ac.uk\/equality-charters\/athena-swan\/\">Athena SWAN Charter<\/a>\u00a0in the UK. This\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecu.ac.uk\/equality-charters\/athena-swan\/2018-statistics\/\">aligns science funding<\/a>with an institution\u2019s performance in improving gender representation, especially at senior levels. The program has become a catalyst for institutional change, and is now being implemented in some\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencegenderequity.org.au\/the-athena-swan-accreditation-framework\/\">Australian<\/a>\u00a0universities.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhmrc.gov.au\/\">Australian National Health and Medical Research Council<\/a>\u00a0(NHMRC) introduced a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhmrc.gov.au\/media\/releases\/2015\/nhmrc-announces-new-gender-equity-policy\">gender equity policy<\/a>\u00a0requiring institutions to submit gender equity policies that include a strategy to address the under-representation of women in senior positions.<\/p>\n<p>These strategies take time to yield results, but the implementation of targets and affirmative action in recruitment will directly speed up progress on gender equity. The alternative is to allow the same inequalities to prevail for another 30 years. This will cost us economically, and means we would only be using half of Australia\u2019s potential pool of talent.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bio: <\/strong>Joanne Pyke is a Senior Research Fellow, Centre for Strategic Economic Studies (CSES) at Victoria University and Kate White is an Adjunct Associate Professor, Faculty of Education and Arts at Federation University Australia<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, the\u00a0University of Adelaide\u00a0used a special exemption under the\u00a0Equal Opportunity Act\u00a0to advertise eight academic positions in the faculty of engineering, computer and mathematical sciences for women only.
