The bar chart shows the proportion of men and women who taught in seven different faculties of a particular university in 2012.
There was a large gender disparity in some faculties. Engineering was dominated by male academics, whereas education had the highest percentage of female academics. Notably, 85% of the engineering teachers were male and only 50% female. Three quarters of the academic staff in education were women, with just 25% males. However, other faculties were more balanced in their composition. In medicine, gender representation was almost equal, while in arts, subjects slightly more than half the academics were female, 55%. It is interesting to note that business and science had the same proportion of men and women, with 65% male to 35% female academics in those faculties. Law had a slightly higher percentage of women at 40%.
Although the faculties of engineering, business, science, and law were still primarily male-dominated in 2012, women made up half the faculty of medicine and were predominant in education and arts.
