Inequality in STEM fields prompts push for improvement at UNM
Aleks Mihailovic and Sarah East | April 28The University of New Mexico has a lack of female faculty in science, technology, engineering and math fields. A survey of UNM departments reveals a disparity between male and female faculty members. This shortage of female professors is apparent in the STEM fields.
