An report backed by MIT president Charles M. Vest acknowledges
widespread gender discrimination there (and at other technical
institutions).  It's great that such a high-level official at such a
prominent institution is willing to speak up about this problem.  I
wish that I could write eloquently about it; perhaps someone else on
this list can.  Here's a reference to a NYT article about it:
