In 2010 , Harvard Business School's first female president appointed a new dean. His goal: to tackle the issue of Gender inequality. Females in the school were struggling especially with participating in class which was a huge part of their grade. A factor that contributed to the gender inequality was the extreme economic gap in the school, the wealthy higher class was called Section X among the students. this contributed to the gender inequality because women were more prone to try to make their way into Section X by dating. Therefore causing women to put more attention into dating rather than their studies. I think that it was a good idea for the deans to put more attention into trying to fix their gender inequality problem but I think they did it in the wrong way. They involved themselves too much into the personal lives of students and then rather then fixing their inequality problem they fed it even more because the new rules they put in place were directed more for the benefit of women and it started to make the inequality negatively effect the men now.
