Gender Equity in Computer Science by Daniel Leclair Introduction Women in higher learning computer science classes are under-represented and their attrition rates are appalling once they are enrolled (Miliszewska, Barker, Henderson, & Sztendur, 2006). I researched the issues of what was happening with women in the computer science field given their low enrollment and the high rate of attrition in higher education classes once they were enrolled.

Even more concerning was the lack of female Chief Information Officers (CIO), Chief Technical Officers (CTO), and Chief Data Officers (CDO) in the “C” suites of our corporations. Research for Fresh Perspective While doing this research I observed that there were mostly older articles about Gender Equity in Computer Science and few new articles as to what is happening today.
