ruheling writes "From yesterday's New York Times: "What Has Driven Women Out of Computer Science?"
In many U.S. universities, over the past decade, there has been deliberate effort to integrate and encourage women and girls to get more involved in the "hard" sciences, engineering, and math. However, instead of the proportation of women to men increasing, in Computer Science the opposite is actually true. Specifically, in 2001-2, only 28 percent of all undergraduate degrees in computer science went to women. Now many computer science departments report that women now make up less than 10 percent of the newest undergraduates. What's going on here folks?"
