"how has the influx of women changed higher education?"
"women are dominating at the undergraduate leve|. There are more women in graduate school and now there are more women who are faculty... I think it is probably a primary contributer to a lot of the cultural shifts... because they prioritize the values of women.
if you look at the number of professors getting harrassed on social media for studying potentially controversial topics, those are skyrocketing.
There are changes in academic journals saying they would not publish and potentially retract science that has the potential to 'undermine the dignity' of human social groups... all these harm concerns and protecting vulnerable people that are starting to interfere with a process that at least at one point was about finding truth, 'if it hurts some people's feelings then so be it'.
all these DEI initiaves, all these things are the things that women would care about"
"Mostly people (academic) are against taking these moral concerns when publish something... (when asked) how certian should be that a certian finding could cause harm before it was supressed... and i think it was the most common response that we should never suppress scientific findings. (A less frequent response) 'there should be evidence that the only way to prevent the harm is to supress the finding.. but you get almost no one at the bottom where they decide 'it should seem like it causes harm"
"i think its that support academic freedom and publishing findings that are self censoring and those that are really concernef about the harms of studies and retracting papers are very willing to say what they think"
