while

such

a difference in the major of medicine is almost negligible. Looking at the one-sided condition in the department of engineering, the figure for male

staff

accounted for more than 80%.

Similarly

, the disparity was less significant in law, with male academics occupying 60% of the total

staff

. It is

also

noticeable that business and science were in the same situation, with 65% male teachers, which was almost twice as much as that of females at 35%.
