Articles of Note

Inside Higher Ed, May 10, 2019:
Today on the Academic Minute, part of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Week: Qiang Wu examines whether female chief financial officers are on average different than their male counterparts.
 
Society for Human Resource Management, May 10, 2019:
In the U.S., the AAUW is on a mission to train women in negotiation skills

Knowledge@Wharton, May 15, 2019:
In 2018, two black men were arrested in a Philadelphia Starbucks after asking to use the bathroom without placing an order. The incident of racial bias made headlines nationwide, prompting Starbucks to close all its stores for an afternoon so employees could take an anti-bias training course. That decision prompted the question: Does diversity training work? New research from Wharton aims to provide answers.
 
Inside Higher Ed, May 16, 2019:
George Justice and Carolyn Dever offer practical information to faculty members considering joining the administration and others who just want a peek inside it.
 
Fortune, May 17, 2019:
#MeToo has shaken up the workplace. Good-it needed shaking up. A safer workplace for women is a better workplace for everyone.
Still, we have a long way to go before the workplace is truly equal. To get there, we need men to support women's careers. That means hiring women, giving them the stretch assignments that get them noticed, and promoting them. It means mentoring and sponsoring women-which in turn means spending enough time with them to really help them progress.
We wish we could say that more men are stepping up for women in these ways. In fact, the opposite appears to be happening.

The Last Word

Remember the article from last edition's The Last Word about the woman denied a world record for running a marathon dressed as a nurse? There's some good news to share....
The New York Times, May 8, 2019:
A British nurse who was denied a Guinness World Record because she ran the 2019 London Marathon in pants instead of a dress was granted her title this week after a public outcry over what many called outdated and sexist criteria.
