Facts about UMass:
Did you know?...

There are 232 graduate students in computer science.... 48 are women (including distance students).
There are 46 faculty.... 6 are women.
Hey, where'd you get those stats? I'd be interested to see what other majors are like too and in comparison!

I'd be interested to see the trend here. Specifically the historic data, and how the stats are for freshman, sophmore, junior and senior students.

In the early 1980s, [computer science] had one of the highest proportions of female undergraduates in science and engineering. And yet with remarkable speed, it has become one of the least gender-balanced fields in American society.
