We need a dynamic model that accounts for inflow and outflow of female and male professors in the sciences at Harvard. Find out why they joined. Find out why they leave. Find some function that fits each of the four things we're watching (in/F, out/F, in/M, out/M). You'd assume the inputs are professors from other schools and accomplished grad students. Look at their availability in the M and F columns. Compare to other schools. Perhaps Harvard is relying too much on prestige and too little on salary. Men like prestige, women like money. Everyone knows that :-).
Anyway, just turn it into a network flow problem so the theoretical computer science types can chime in. That's all I care about!
I would first say concerning your own article, such individual men would have been fired in my line of Work (Construction), if they did not produce at levels expected.
The data most relevant states We have insufficient Graduates in Science and Engineering. Lack of funding for R&D is immaterial; the real problem remains producing trained Practicians. It does not matter if Women can do advanced R&D, which is the basic determination of Summers. lgl
