Clear evidence of gender bias found in academia

Unequal treatment of male and female scholars has been discovered in an online survey by a group of Chinese professors.

The results showed that only 25 percent of 167 professors interviewed believe the gender ratio is balanced in their institutions, while 67 percent said the number of female professors is "quite low".

The survey received at least 1,600 responses from more than 40 academic institutions within two weeks in November.
