Gender and racial bias in hiring study

Was doing some research and came across an interesting study which took place in an American university. It shows how the American faculty remains largely white and male. For example when the study took place full‐time faculty were 86% white and 63% male. Furthermore, African‐ Americans hold only approximately 5% of full‐time faculty positions, almost half of which are in historically black colleges and universities.
The study also explores theories of stereotyping and cognitive biases in hiring. Although the study takes place in America, it might be interesting to compare and contrast with Goldsmiths and also to see if much has changed over the past 10 years.

 I have attached the study below for anyone who is interested in reading more.
