Affirmative Action for Women at Universities and Art Schools as a Legal and Political Challenge
Summary
Due to affirmative action programmes as provided by the Bundesgleichbehandlungsgesetz (federal equal treatment amendment), the Frauenförderungsplan (women´s advancement plan) of the Secretary of Research and the pertinent university legislation for the authorization of women´s promotion a rather sophisticated level of legal measures against female underrepresentation in academia has been achieved. It is now the responsibility of the respective university executives to effectively and promptly realize these legal instruments so that the enormous career incline between men and women at universities no longer is such an embarrassing feature of the Austrian academic landscape.
