The bar graph delineates the percentage of male and female academic staff across various faculties at a particular university in the year 2008.
Overall, significant gender disparities were observed across faculties, with males dominating in Astronomy, Engineering, Law, and Science, while females held a majority in Arts, History, and Medicine, and parity was achieved only in Law.
In faculties where males predominated, the disparity was most pronounced in Engineering, where males constituted 80% of staff compared to a mere 20% of females. Similarly, Astronomy exhibited a stark imbalance, with 90% male and 10% female staff. In Science, males accounted for 70% and females 30%, while in Law, the split was equal at 50% each.
Conversely, females held a clear majority in Arts, comprising 70% of staff against 30% males, and in History, where 60% were female and 40% male. In Medicine, the distribution was more balanced but still favored males, with 60% male and 40% female. Notably, only in Law did both genders achieve parity.
