*All individuals and organizations receive 7 full days of pre-publication notice (11 including weekends).
*I ask for a request for comment from the philosophy department instead of the university spokesperson because it's the philosophy department (philosophers) that are racist or sexist.
*I round up to one decimal place for all figures.
In a request for comment I ask them:
1. Do you believe that 5/13 women in tenure-track positions represents sexism in the University of Oregon philosophy department?
2. Do you believe that 1/13 visible minorities in tenure-track positions represents racism in the University of Oregon philosophy department?
University of Oregon Philosophy Professor Bonnie Mann is kind enough to respond:
Please note that your second statistic below is wrong in relation to our department faculty.
I love it when a university department tells me that I have an error but doesn't state the correct figure. It makes me feel that I'm dealing with ethical philosophers that genuinely want to help others. Fabulous.
