Latest Athena Swan awards announced

I wonder how much background research they can do before making the awards. A department that sacked 2 of its seven female academics and demoted another 2 last year was awarded the silver award. Here was the cry to the organization (which obviously went unheard...) http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/comment/letters/metrics-men-and-mole-rats-2-of-3/419760.article

apologies: there were 3 sackings and 2 demotions out of a total of 10 female colleagues in the above mentioned department.
