Steven Hayward said in an interview with Colorado Public Radio on March 17 that women were underrepresented in higher education for years. However, outdated opinions remain on the issue, even though much has changed, he said.
The statement came a month after Hayward published an opinion piece in the Boulder Daily Camera on Feb. 19, in which he criticized an internal university report concluding there was continuing discrimination against women on campus.
Hayward’s statements have drawn fire from student leaders and prompted the administration to distance itself from his remarks.
