The Status of Women and Minorities in Academic Computer Science The results of a survey concerning women and minority students and faculty in computer science during the years 1971 to 1975 are presented. Analysis of the data indicated that effective affirmative action programs for recruitment into graduate degree programs are needed to enlarge the number of women and minorities qualified for later employment in computer science. Also, possible discrimination in employment of women and minority graduate students was revealed. CACM October, 1976 Montanelli, R. G. Jr. Mamrak, S.
