| Feb 20, 2019 at 21:04 | comment | added | guest3 | Hiring a woman who is worse than the best man (but still good) can be beneficial for the college (to motovate female students). Of course, this is probably not fair (in the sense that the man is rejected only because of his gender) but can be the best choice. | |

Removed a small sex/gender essentialist statement in order to make this answer trans inclusive. No offense to OP, I'm sure it wasn't malicious.

If you post another comment, please make sure that it contains a direct, new criticism of what this answer proposes, and read this FAQ. If you want to argue for an alternative way of action, please post another answer (and perhaps link it here). If you want to reply to an existing comment, please take it to chat. Finally @Runlikehell: please consider editing your answer in reaction to comments. | |
| Feb 3, 2019 at 4:30 | comment | added | Kimball | -1 hiring the best people, regardless of their gender - While I agree with this sentiment, there are many roles of a faculty member, and when there is a large gender imbalance, the gender of one candidate can put them in a better position to do things like serve as a role model and mentor to female students. Who is to say what is best? Gender aside, it's hard to decide who are the "best" candidates. | |

| Feb 3, 2019 at 0:02 | comment | added | Elizabeth Henning | The current gender imbalance exists because preferential treatment is given to men all along in one way or another. So pushing the question back to "educating the best people" raises the same issues. | |

changed “sex” for “gender”, which is more appropriate and less confusing.
