The article highlights the CS department of my alma mater.

"The argument of many computer scientists is that women who study science 
or technology, because they are defying social expectations, are in an 
uncomfortable position to begin with.  So they are more likely to be 
dissuaded from pursuing computer science if they are exposed to an 
unpleasant environment, bad teaching, and negative stereotypes like the 
image of the male hacker."
