9.2% of professors are women
Article Abstract:
British universities are male-dominated, according to Ruth Lister from Bradford University. Less than 10% of university department heads are women. There is an emphasis on publications when academics are promoted, and women with children have less chance of success. Women are also more likely to have short-term contracts and be paid less than men. There has been a call for a cultural change to help women achieve more recognition in the academic world.

Article Abstract:
The gender divide in UK universities and colleges is being fostered by the reluctance of female staff to put themselves forward for promotion and the pervasive effects of male networking. It is vital that women make efforts to network, rather than falling into the trap of an individualistic academic career.
