1980s, Hall and Sandler3 observed that the source of women’s relative lack ofrepresentation in high-level academic and faculty positions on college campuses, was rooted intheir higher education experience. They coined the now-famous term "chilly classroom climate"to refer to the effects that male-dominated university campuses have on undergraduate women.They argued that male professors' use of sexist humor, belittling albeit bantering commentsabout women's intellectual abilities, and their use of "he" to refer to scholars in their fields canconsiderably dampen women's career aspirations.
