Eliminating bias in hiring is likely a good thing (with some govt security exceptions)  Allowing opportunity to all who meet qualifications is good.  What is not settled is what is normal or acceptable for different fields.  That&#x27;s to say, while women are severely underrepresented in high tech, if based on demographics, is the end to have all fields mimic the demographics of a given area radius or a given graduating class?  It may be worthwhile, or not.  I don&#x27;t know.<p>What I would say is people who qualify (credentials, whatever, immigration status, clearance status, etc) should have equal opportunity and should not face discrimination.  It may even warrant active recruitment, but I&#x27;m unsure if that is good or just on the surface desirable.<p>Interestingly, and this is anecdotal, but in my experience there is a higher relative ratio of East and south Asian women than women in general in tech.  Even more to the point, Asian women are better represented in ee and cs than non Asian who might be in supporting roles like marketing, branding, etc.  If the observations hold, it would be interesting to see why.
