Uni fails equality test
A CITY university has the lowest proportion of female professors in Scotland, it was reported today.
Just 12 per cent of promoted staff at Heriot-Watt University are women.
Fewer than one-quarter of professors at Scottish universities are female, despite women accounting for nearly half of all academic staff.
Heriot-Watt said its status as a science, engineering and technology-based institution “went some way to explaining” the figures.
