  • Forcing out female students? Effects of enrollment pressures on undergraduate women in CS

    Presented at the 2015 Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing, Houston, TX

    "Against a backdrop of increasing undergraduate computer science enrollments, and despite the proliferation of programs to broaden participation in CS, the percentage of women awarded CS bachelor degrees has essentially stagnated since 2007. Why do we not see significantly more women receiving CS bachelors? We propose a model of enrollment pressures forcing out female students, as increasing enrollments compound the effects of existing contributors to low female computer science participation."
