Women still trail in tech jobs - USATODAY.com: Despite women's advances in the workplace, men still dominate in careers in technology.
That concerns women such as Susan Merritt, dean of the computer science program at Pace University in New York City.
'It certainly is the case, and it's worse than ever,' she said of the current dearth of women pursuing careers in information technology.
Only 10% of computing majors are women, Merritt said. That can be blamed in part on some of the techniques used to interest students in computing, such as gaming, which have great appeal among boys but not girls.
Pace has had better results, she said, noting that typically 25% to 30% of computing students are female. She credited her department's sizable percentage of female faculty, including herself as dean, as a draw.
