Gender bias in the students’ ratings constitutes an important form of inequality facing women in academia that is often unaccounted for in promotion decisions. Students perceive, evaluate, and treat female instructors quite differently than they do male instructors (Basow, 1995; Centra & Gaubatz, 2000). While a general consensus exists, that gender plays a vital role in how students perceive and interact with their instructors, there is conflicting evidence as to whether or not this translates into a bias in student ratings due to variations in
