In Iskra, we find that the Rector


On AGRFT is Tuesday, 02/12/2014, held a round table in the framework of the Free University, where he discussed the inequality at the university. The speakers were the Rector plastic candy buffet containers prof. dr. Ivan Svetlik, PhD. Vlasta Jalušič, prof. dr. Pavel Heartburn, a spokesman Ivan Sparks Kukuljan, moderated by dr. Mirt Komel. plastic candy buffet containers Recordings are available on http://svobodnauniverza.si/2014/12/okrogla-miza-o-akademski-neenakosti/.
When the discussion turned to inequality based on sex (the last track of the previous link), the rector expressed his doubts about that at the University of coming to sexually discriminatory practices, and showing unwillingness to be associated with them do something about it. In the name of preserving the university as an elite institution that it is essential that the sole criterion for the advancement of knowledge; Any other parameters plastic candy buffet containers in its resulted in greater dishonesty or worse quality of the university. Any differences between the sexes (eg. A very small number of full professors compared with the number of male teachers, which is also out of all proportion to the number of graduates and doktorantk UL) Rector otherwise attributed to female lack of ambition and the fact that women are directing their energies elsewhere, namely the maintenance of "Slovenian family". Although he expressed awareness that this is due to socialization and macho society, is that just found another plastic candy buffet containers excuse, plastic candy buffet containers saying that the university, therefore, can not here anything about it.
In Iskra, we find that the Rector's point of view is unacceptable. From his argument shows that he can not understand the interdependence of universities and other segments of society and to deny the social role of the university. This fact has, by producing plastic candy buffet containers new knowledge and highly educated people who have a huge impact, a very special place in society. If the university is not aware of and does not eliminate the unequal and discriminatory relationships are as vital social institution mapping in its operation. Therefore, they then repeatedly involved in the new paradigm of knowledge, and thus the ideological apparatus of the company. For this reason, the rector as the main representative and head of the university should plastic candy buffet containers not simply wash their hands, saying plastic candy buffet containers that this institution plastic candy buffet containers does not bear the responsibility of inequality within itself and can not influence the wider social situation. University, on the contrary, should be one of the key institutions to eliminate gender discrimination.
Furthermore, plastic candy buffet containers it is pointless to argue that the only correct criterion for advancement at the University of knowledge, without knowing how, from what all depends on demonstrated knowledge of the individual, and how the operationalization of this parameter. If you look at the statistics, it shows that the structure and criteria for advancement in science women reluctant, as there is a significant difference between the proportion of graduates (EU: 60%), the share of students attained (EU and SLO: 46%) and the percentage of full professors. These are the lowest in engineering (7.9%) and highest plastic candy buffet containers in the social sciences (19.4%) and humanities (28.4%) - which are still very low percentages in relation to the proportion of female graduates and students attained in these directions, as Slovenia has a share of students attained in the field of education and 82% in the humanities 68% (Ule, Šribar plastic candy buffet containers and Umek Venturini, 2013; OECD, 2012). It is naive to think that these differences result from differences in knowledge. Studies show that women work in the vast majority of cases assessed worse than the same job male candidate (Steinpreis, plastic candy buffet containers Anders and Ritzke, 1999). In addition, the process of promotion and recruitment at the university, in most cases depends on a small circle of influential professors. They are like all people actively involve in social activities and, therefore, can not avoid the social, institutional and personal influence, and these are due to social reality patriarchal and sexist. If these factors are not an issue and evokes in the public consciousness, the operationalization of the parameter of knowledge plastic candy buffet containers is almost certainly bad and unjust, because these factors are ignored, instead of through appropriate mechanisms eliminate. This overlooks the systemic barriers to the advancement of competent plastic candy buffet containers individuals female and female / male cent marginal groups at the university hierarchy and instead promoted individuals who are otherwise of the desired male, but in reality may be less competent. With the introduction of mechanisms that in addressing sexism, thus the university actually provide better quality.
Inadequacy "parameter Knowledge" is also confirmed by the survey OECD 2006, which notes that the assessment methods and achievements of the projects and evaluation plastic candy buffet containers of performance excellence and sexual bias in all segments of employment and operation of university staff: so when recruiting, promoting scientific titles and employment, as criteria for the selection and distribution plastic candy buffet containers of research funds. In a career plastic candy buffet containers (not) performance is essential, therefore, does not own ambition, and I would like to simplify the problem Rector. The primary reason for the lower career success of women is that women simply get less support and incentives for participation in research than men. In addition, r
