Female Professors: Harvard vs Tokyo Univ.

OK Univ. of Tokyo, the fight is on...

Over 25% of Harvard Univ. faculty members are female as of March 2010 (see New York Times story). At Univ. of Tokyo--the Harvard of Japan--the number was only 9% as of May 2008. 

The Univ. of Tokyo apparently is aware of Harvard's trend, because in 2008 UT set as a goal to increase the percentage of female professors to at least 25% by March 2010--this month (see UT declaration).

I will report back soon with the results of this important initiative.
