University of Technology Sydney will allow women applying for degrees in engineering, IT or construction to leapfrog men with higher ATARs, as part of an effort to boost the number of women in STEM subjects.
UTS says it understands it is the first university in Australia to offer bonus points to women applying to enter its undergraduate courses.
In a statement on Thursday, it said men make up more than 80 per cent of engineering and computing graduates from Australia universities, even though women make up 58 per cent of all domestic undergraduate students.
The university has the backing of both the NSW Anti-Discrimination Board and the national representative body Engineers Australia.
UTS will offer 10 adjustment points to the ATAR of women students applying for all undergraduate degrees in the Faculty of Engineering and IT as well as the construction degree in the Faculty of Design, Architecture and Building.
STEM subjects at UTS had an ATAR cut-off of about 80 in 2019.
A UTS spokeswoman told Hack women will need to make the minimum ATAR for these STEM courses to be eligible for adjustment points; the points will then be applied to boost their chances of making the final selection.
UTS already applies adjustment points for elite athletes and performers, students with low socio-economic backgrounds, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, or anyone who proves they've been significantly disadvantaged during the HSC.
Director of UTS Women in Engineering and IT Dr Arti Agarwal said previous measures to encourage women in STEM had not been successful enough.
Existing programs to boost the number of women in STEM subjects included mentoring programs and buddy systems, the UTS spokeswoman said.
Engineers Australia National Manager for Professional Diversity and STEM Justine Romanis said it was time to "flick the switch".
"We need to be disruptive - what we have been doing to date is just not working."
Why aren't high achieving women fucking livid when stuff like this happens. It really devalues their accomplishments.

that's nice, is the university doing anything to bolster men in university in general since they're less than half of total students. Also there are more areas of study women dominate from science, medicine and teaching, to practically ever humanities and art course. Men dominate in math, science and engineering (not even in math honestly, because if you're a sperg girl you usually go math)
They can put the entry scores to 0, but women aren't going to join IT when they know they're going to fail. IT has a social stigma, the jobs are shit (easily outsourceable), the only good thing about IT is that you don't need to deal with lots of women. If you add women to IT, you'll actually lose men from the occupation, just like science, just like medicine and teaching, slowly but surely.

>reee the cops You can’t even get a conviction for low level shoplifting anymore. It’s just a fine. Cops now have stopped caring unless it’s high end shit.
Yeh so, I was told today the Officer Corp of the ADF has been told to prepare for war with China within 5 years, according to my source the information they heard from this person was appalling, I’m not sure if our society is even up to it, two million Chinese colonists in our cities and another two million Parjeets who won’t lift a finger...
Well lads it finally happened. 5 years straight of the neet life and I've finally got a proper job. Day one and I'm already JUSTED. Money will be nice though, shitload better than centerlink.

The walk from Flinders to Princess Park is bretty long, especially at night. I can't really understand how she didn't notice someone behind her from the north of the CBD all the way to Princess Park. Guy must've used autistic ninja skills.
Christian Martinez
Forced labour camps is your answer.
Brandon Morgan
keep fucking calling them, if they bitch, say "It's your fricken job". Tell them you will keep calling until you do your fricken job, just say the guy threatened you as well when you asked him to stop.
>implying we'll go to war with the chinks Our government will surrender on day 1 just like a bunch of fucking Frenchmen, either start getting ready to leave Australia or start learning Mandarin
hate to break it to you bud, but white neets aren't going to lift a finger either. Don't expect those rejected from society to go out and waste their lives to protect it.
Hunter Bailey
>waste their lives to protect it >implying NEETS aren't wasting their pathetic lives anyway

>Hey you! >Yes you the NEET over there >Yeah we let males like you drop out of high school at 5:1 male:female rates without caring >Yeah we gave bonus ATAR points to women to study in your field of interest >Yeah then we let them not work full time and live off welfare with no real penalty while men want to work but we didn't educate them >Yeah we DRAFTING NOW. Israel needs you to fight China. >Of course we're not drafting anyone else lol u kidding right?

Good. Let em try. Hopefully that kicks of the proper happening and we can get the West back turned back into something worth caring about.

Pay walled article from Australian Business Review theaustralian.com.au/subscribe/news/1/?sourceCode=TAWEB_WRE170_a&dest=https://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/media/factchecking-qa/news-story/b5a3d2b4a0802c7fa6955469e78d353f&memtype=anonymous&mode=premium >Throwaway comments made by Q&A host Tony Jones on the show about the ratings of Sky News After Dark are now the subject of a two-page correction request made by Sky to the ABC. >The letter follows remarks made by Jones on last Monday’s Q&A, in response to a comment made by shadow immigration minister Kristina Keneally that the Sky After Dark platform was “growing in Australia”. >Jones interjected: “It’s growing to a very small audience, to be fair. You’re probably talking about 5,000 people watching at that time…They can correct me on that. That’s a fact check you can do, Sky.” >It will be no surprise to learn Sky indeed fact-checked Jones’s comments, on Friday firing off a letter to the Q&A host that CC’d four of the ABC’s top brass, including chair Ita Buttrose and MD David Anderson. >Sky News boss Paul Whittaker says in the letter that Jones was wrong: Sky’s average viewership between 6pm and 10pm on Foxtel alone, Whittaker says, was, at 43,921, “more than eight times higher than the number referenced on the Q&A program”. It also receives a further 20,906 viewer average on its regional Sky News on WIN service, Whittaker says, making it a total of “12 times” Jones’s estimate. >Whittaker has called on Jones to personally make an on-air correction on tomorrow night’s show, citing the ABC’s stated commitment to “accuracy” and a “willingness to correct errors and clarify ambiguous or otherwise misleading information”. >The Sky boss even offers a proposed script which invites Jones to utter three words: “I was wrong.” >Will Jones take Whittaker up on his invitation? All will be revealed tomorrow night.
It definitely used to work, you'd post it when there were pro-chink shills in a thread and all of a sudden they'd completely stop replying, idk if it still works tho

What fucked this country was the amount of useless cunts in parliament who undid the White Australia Policy, destroyed our manufacturing industries and imported all these fucking shitskins and chinks.

Unions destroyed our manufacturing industries tho
Brody Diaz
what benefit does learning even give? everyone i know is just pointlessly learning if they worked they would have money, Learning in 2019 is utterly useless
Jonathan Robinson
Unions destroy everything they fucking touch. Just what happens to these super funds they control. Sooner or later one will get drained dry.
Ian Long
My auntie is pretty high achieving. Super smart, studied and worked her ass off to get into & pay for Uni. She absolutely hates shit like this.
It should he illegal. It wont be though, just like dumb as fuck foreign students getting free passes & dumbing down our Unis.
Lucas Thomas
didnt you ever think maybe theyre bringing brown workers in because whites are all too busy "learning" instead of working
Alexander Martinez
>Why aren't high achieving women fucking livid when stuff like this happens Because the low achieving women who think up these brilliant fucking schemes outnumber the high achieving ones.
