Effects of COVID-19 on women in academia

The pandemic has caused shifts in household labor or childcare that have increased faculty and students' mental health needs and reduced faculty and students' time for academic work. The pandemic exemplifies the privilege that some people possess(access to mental healthcare and financial security) and the inequalities in academia. Additionally, the pandemic has caused an increase in biased decision-making, which hinders the efforts for equity. Consequently, women in academia will be negatively impacted. Hence, there is a need for decisions to be made that will help women maintain their positions in academia.
