From the NYT:
Massachusetts Institute of Technology acknowledged 12 years ago that it had discriminated against female professors in "subtle but pervasive" ways, it became a national model for addressing gender inequity. Now, an evaluation of those efforts shows substantial progress - and unintended consequences. Among other concerns, many female professors say that M.I.T.'s aggressive push to hire more women has created the sense that they are given an unfair advantage.
What's so "unintended" about that consequence? Or are they just complaining that others have noticed that consequence?
