Sydney University under fire for vet scholarship giving preference to males | Australia news

News of the scholarship was circulated among veterinary students on Thursday. A female student, in her second year of her doctor of veterinary medicine degree, told Guardian Australia she was “very surprised” to see that preference would be given to male students and thought that it was an administrative error.

Given it specifically said male applicants would be given preference this seems like a tacit admission she expected it to give female applicants preference.

“It’s poorly thought out, their reasoning. They’re not addressing gender inequality in an intelligent way, and I think the university should be held to a higher standard. … It seems they care more about money than they do about my being a woman and getting equal opportunities.”

You mean how men are underrepresented in the veterinary field?
