The Ice Queen Cometh: Women Must Rise Up to End Gender Discrimination

Professor P. K. Newby, an associate professor at Harvard School of Public Health, highlights Terry L. Karl and her experiences with Government Professor Jorge I. Dominguez, emphasizing Harvard's delayed response despite decades of complaints. Connects this to the #MeToo movement and discusses gender discrimination beyond overt harassment. Critiques the lack of progress in achieving gender equality in academic institutions, noting disparities in representation, pay, and recognition between male and female faculty, as well as biased student evaluations that disadvantage women and faculty of color. Newby shares personal experiences of discrimination and the potential role of unions in protecting employees from harassment and discrimination.
