Thank you again to both witnesses for being here today.
I'm going to start with Dr. Whitaker from Memorial. I just have to say that I did my master's degree at Memorial, back in the 1970s, on birds, and it's nice to see the puffins behind you on the wall. Thank you for that.
You have brought up an issue a couple of times about the declining rate of universities in filling tenure-track positions, and filling them instead, I assume, with perhaps contract positions that focus more on teaching than on research. We heard testimony in an earlier meeting that, within that cohort or group of workers in universities—the people that are hired more for teaching—there is less of a pay gap, I presume because of how that is structured and funded.
I'm guessing that for those people who are hired in that manner, that group is dominated by women. Is that the case? Do you have data on that? Also, how is that related to this bigger story?
