Study finds employer biases toward women MARY ELLEN CAGNASSOLA CORRESPONDENT

It is hard to imagine an employer today running a workplace where “Mad Men”-style sexism occurs without Internet outrage and lawsuits ensuing, but according to a recent study, a more subtle type of discrimination against women in the workplace is alive and well.

Rutgers-Camden’s Ioana Latu, an associate professor in the Department of Psychology, teamed up with researchers Marianne Schmid Mast and Tracie Stewart to uncover the impact that interviewers’ and applicants’ implicit and explicit biases have on women’s job interview outcomes. The study is slated to appear in Psychology of Women Quarterly, according to Rutgers-Camden’s “News Now.” Latu explained implicit bias as associations below a person’s level of awareness, so even though an individual may express a positive bias on a conscious level, implicit stereotypes have the power to negatively color perspective and disadvantage certain demographics.

As Latu and her team hypothesized, male interviewers’ implicit associations negatively affected female applicants’ prospects despite any positive explicit stereotypes expressed by the male interviewers.

Groups of two were brought into a lab and were told they would participate in two unrelated studies in order to minimize leading influences on the study’s results. Through a series of reaction-timed tests, the study participants’ implicit stereotypes were measured by how quickly they associated male and female names with words related to competence and incompetence.

“We set up the study to not only investigate whether those stereotypes exist, but how they really affect women who are in workplace situations or job interviews,” Latu said. “There is research that says if you ask people, they will say that women are more ambitious than in the past — they tend to have more positive work qualities compared to the past. These are explicit stereotypes, but if you actually look at their SEE WOMEN ON PAGE 4

In preparation for commencement, which expects to host between 6,000 to 8,000 students, members of the University administration discussed plans for parking and transportation for the event, scheduled for May 17 at High Point Solutions Stadium on Busch campus.

Administrators discuss parking, transportation for commencement NATASHA TRIPATHI ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

In terms of crowd size, Rutger’s 249th anniversary commencement is bigger than football games because the stadium will fill about six to 8,000 students plus their families and guests, said W. Geoff Smith, manager of special events and programs at the University’s Office of the Secretary.

“Not only is the stadium filled with guests, but also with students, so it’s a lot of people to move around in a short amount of time,” he said.

With more than 40,000 people expected on the New Brunswick

campus for University commencement at High Point Solutions Stadium on Busch campus May 17, some may have noticed the commencement parking registration reminders flickering on each bus stop between bus time arrivals.

Jack Molenaar, director of Department of Transportation Services, said the department limits how many people can park per campus on commencement day.

“Before, we encouraged people to park in certain places, but no one followed … After we created the permit system, we didn’t have any traffic,” he said. “It was like night and day.”

After parking in assigned parking spots, guests will climb onto buses and be shuttled over the stadium, similar to busing system on home football games, Molenaar said.

While registering, the online system will automatically assign a parking location based on the “best possible parking location” for the event and available parking spaces. Students may also have the option to choose another parking area, if available, according to the University Commencement Parking Guidelines website.

U. Senate calls for cuts in athletics spending NATASHA TRIPATHI ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

The Rutgers University Senate voted on Friday to file and adopt a series of measures calling for restraint among University spending in the athletic department, according to nj.com.

To get the ball rolling, two faculty members headed the

University Senate’s budget and finance committee with a 34-page study about the Athletics Department’s spending.

The advisory panel’s vote could influence Rutgers President Robert L. Barchi, who could potentially restrict Rutgers’ future athletics costs.

As a child, Kristen Calhoun said she thought she was going to grow up and become a doctor, missionary and professional actress.

At some point, Calhoun, a Dallas native and Mason Gross School of the Arts (MGSA) alumna, whittled her trinity of ambitions into just one pursuit –– acting — and doggedly set out to chase her dreams.

Calhoun, who starred in school plays, enrolled in acting classes, pitched plays in her backyard and debuted in her first on-screen film, a 1996 HBO miniseries entitled “America’s Dream” at the age of 12, graduated from the University of North Texas with a BFA in acting and went on to attend the Mason Gross School of the Arts starting in 2009.

“I met her in one of my first acting classes,” said Melissa Firlit, a Mason Gross alumna and Calhoun’s former

roommate in graduate school. “She had a lot of energy. She was just coming from Colorado and she just traveled to Brazil, I remember, just before school started, and she just seemed ready for the challenge of grad school and what Mason Gross is.”

Calhoun and Firlit, who studied acting and directing, respectively, graduated in 2012 and eventually moved an hour north into New York City, where they would put down the roots of their professional careers.

Calhoun, professionally known as Kristen Adele, would go on to act as Josephine in Netflix’s Emmy- and Oscar-nominated series, “Orange is the New Black,” the Bishop’s daughter in CBS’s “The Good Wife,” and Kate in NBC’s “The Mysteries of Laura.”

She would also make a name for herself in New York City regional theatre, where she would take on roles in plays such as “To Kill a Mockingbird,” “A Raisin in the Sun” and “The Crucible.”

But one of her more recent accomplishments, and one she said she is particularly proud of, is her independently-created Web series “The Struggle,” a chronicle of two actresses, one black and one white, looking to secure healthcare, delve into the New York City dating scene and make a mark for themselves in the city that never sleeps.

Calhoun said the idea for “The Struggle” emerged when she and fellow actress Jessica Kitchens were working on a play together in Rochester.

“It was freezing cold, it was almost polar vortexes, it was horrible,” she said.

The brutal weather considerably stymied the creative process, but Calhoun said she and Kitchens were able to excavate the idea of their next web series through their mutual disgruntlement.

Bill reevaluates how Rutgers police will follow procedure NIKHILESH DE CORRESPONDENT

Police officers brought up on charges should receive a fair hearing and if found guilty, should be punished appropriately, said New Jersey State Assemblyman Gordon Johnson.

A new bill requiring the Rutgers University Police Department to conduct its internal investigations and procedures in accordance with the guidelines set forth by the state Attorney General was approved by the New Jersey State Assembly on March 31, and is now waiting to be signed into law.

Johnson sponsored the bill, and said it was necessary because police offers felt they were not treated equitably.

“The genesis of this bill (is that) officers thought they were not being treated fairly,” he said. “When you have a system in place that tells (those) who are prosecuting ... and those who are defending that this is a process, you will get a fair hearing.”

Punishments should also be appropriate to the alleged crimes, Johnson said.

State regulation of the RUPD would be fair, said Alexander Law, a Community Service Officer and School of Arts and Sciences senior.

Given that the University is a public, state institution, having oversight could not hurt.

This does not necessarily mean the system under the bill would be better than the current system, he said.

Bill A-3493 only affects the RUPD because the University as an institution existed before the Civil Service Commission did, Johnson said.

Most other state college police forces came into effect after civil service was institutionalized, he said.

The state Attorney General’s office later wrote guidelines that these forces are required to follow.

In turn, other state colleges fall in line with town police forces and sheriffs’ departments, Johnson said.

“This law puts (the RUPD) in that same pool so they follow the procedures when it comes to discipline or hearings for officers accused of wrongdoing,” he said.

At the moment, the University uses its own rules to hold hearings and discipline officers accused of breaching conduct or if a complaint is filed, Johnson said.

These rules sometimes deviated from the norm, he said. Some of these officers approached Johnson and other assemblymen because they felt they were not receiving fair treatment in disciplinary issues.

Time was one important aspect to these hearings, Johnson said. “(Officers) would have X number of days to get to a hearing, and this was not being done,” he said. “They could wait six or seven

months for a hearing, and it’s not fair for an officer to wait that long to exonerate himself.”

According to the “Internal Affairs Policy and Procedures” document written by the Attorney General, an officer accused of misconduct has 45 days, or about one and a half months, to be investigated and charged. If more than 45 days are required, the investigator must explain when sufficient evidence can be found.

Another rule to be standardized involves suspending officers, Johnson said. Under the guidelines, a suspension must follow a proper hearing, which may not happen at present.

Part of the reason hearings and punishments could vary within the RUPD is because of how they are currently run, he said. University administrators or the police chief can determine punishments for officers on their own.

Helping officers is important, Johnson said.

“I think when you’re in law enforcement and you’re out there protecting the lives of others, sometimes there may be allegations made against you as a police officer that causes an internal investigation, whether from within or a complaint made externally,” he said.

Helping hold the RUPD accountable for their actions might be

beneficial for the Rutgers community, said Sagar Patel, a School of Arts and Sciences first-year student.

“I think this new bill is a great way to establish a well-trusted standard for our protectors on campus,” he said.

This bill, which has been approved by both the New Jersey Senate and State Assembly, would ensure fairness through the state’s oversight, he said.

Being tried quickly would help all of ficers, and being punished appropriately

would make their jobs easier, Johnson said.

Of ficers found guilty of misconduct or a crime should face the same consequences any other of ficer in the state would face under similar circumstances, he said.

“This brings a feeling of fairness to the process when it comes to disciplinary actions,” Johnson said. “If you are found (guilty), or partially what you did was wrong, the punishment should be within the guidelines set forth.”

associations, which tends to not be what they say but what they associate implicitly, you can see more negative stereotypes.”

Women are associated with incompetence and words such as “follower,” Latu said.

“The faster they associate, for example, male with competence or female with incompetence, the more negative their implicit stereotypes are,” she said.

In the second part of the study, interviewers and applicants evaluated the applicants’ performance in a mock interview for a hypothetical managerial position. Male participants with implicit associations of women with incompetence were found to give low performance reviews to female applicants.

Karen Alexander, assistant dean of the Office of Junior and Senior Year Programs for Douglass Residential College, is not surprised

by the study’s results, adding that underlying biases against women are not limited to gender.

“I’ve heard many stories from women of various ages about discrimination they experience,” Alexander said. “Stereotyping is more of a problem for women of color than it is for white women, so there are layers of stereotypes that come into play … It’s compounded by things like race that intensifies or adds to it.”

Alexander, who works with programs that aim to advance women’s careers, pointed out that in addition to stereotypes surrounding women and incompetence, women are subjected to being denied opportunities due to employers’ concerns about future maternity leave.

“Employers might look at a young woman they’re potentially hiring for a job and think, ‘She’s probably going to be having a baby, so we don’t want to

hire her,’” Alexander said. “They wouldn’t look at a young man (the same way).”

While Alexander acknowledges that it is easy to fall into certain patterns of behavior learned growing up, being aware of stereotypes and also being aware of what is within the bounds of the law can help women overcome forces working against them.

For example, she said, if an employer asks a female applicant about her plans for a family or whether she is married, that employer would be breaking the law because questions of such ilk are discriminatory against the applicant’s gender.

Confidence, she added, can go much fur ther than one might believe. “(Confidence) is something that young women often do not have in as much abundance as men. One thing that women can do, though, is to be really confident in their own ability and no worry about being forward and … talking about their skills and their accomplishments,” Alexander said.

Strategies to reduce gender bias suggested by Latu and her team include training interviewers to adjust their nonverbal

Positive female role models can also help reduce women’s own implicit stereotypes and empower leadership goals.

In the near future, Latu hopes to develop these strategies and find data to suppor t that not only can stereotypes be changed, but also the way in which they are communicated.

Regular parking permits issued by Rutgers Department of Transportation Services for use during the year will not be valid for parking on campuses in Piscataway and New Brunswick on commencement day.

Registration period for free parking hangtags ends on April 19, 2015, at midnight and additional hang tags may be purchased by students and/or their guests for $5 beginning on April 20, according to the website.

Molenaar said the money students and families spend for parking passes after the free passes goes toward commencement.

Since traffic volume will most likely be heavy, the department recommends that students and guests carpool or consider taking public transportation to campus, according to the website.

After parking on the respective campus, students, families and guests can expect to take a shuttle service to and from parking lots on Busch campus, the College Avenue campus and Livingston campus every three to five minutes beginning at 8 a.m. and until that evening, according to the website.

There will not be any curbside drop-off available, so moderate walking will be involved to get to the stadium and to seating.

Parking for guests with special needs and disabled guests are also available also by a first-come first-serve basis, according to the website. Interested guests can attain one by registering online for a special University hangtag to have in addition to government-issued handicapped parking placards.

Kathy Idrissi, administrative assistant at the Office of the Secretary of the University said after guests register online, she personally calls each person to go over where parking is located, what they can expect and how much they may have to walk.

Idrissi said she lets them know that they can bring a wheel chair or a walker.

“I want them to feel comfortable about the fact that there is walking involved,” she said.

Distributing special needs parking spots for guests who have special needs or are handicapped is done so that the guests can park as close to the stadium as possible and their enjoyment and experience will also be heightened, Smith said.

He said for the past few years that University Commencement has been at High Point Solutions Stadium, parking registration has been neatly organized through online registration and with great consideration for guests with special needs.

From the Of fice of the Secretar y of the University’s point of view, Smith said there is a large amount of people coming into campus for commencement and it is impor tant to make the car and people traf fic as seamless as possible.

“This parking plan does that,” Smith said.

Over lunch, Calhoun said her and Kitchens’ proposal to Lewis to produce “The Struggle” sagged — but it gave rise to what would invite an uncharted and liberating chapter of Calhoun’s life. “(Lewis) told us, he said, you know, make (“The Struggle”) yourself,” Calhoun said. “Don’t wait, don’t hire a production company, nobody’s going to care about it as much as you will.”

Calhoun said she was nervous at the prospect of producing “The Struggle,” especially since she had no experience in directing or producing and was still holding down a job at The Ford Foundation and working with nonprofit organization Artists4Change.

But after Lewis reminded her that the experience she would amass producing a show during their first year would be “priceless,” she took the plunge,

simultaneously working as an actress, producer and director.

After cranking out the first season of “The Struggle,” which has nine episodes, Calhoun said the Web series gave her the strength and creativity to car ve out her own niche in the entertainment industr y.

CUTS Enhanced athletics program will benefit Rutgers, New Jersey financially, Lesniak says CONTINUED FROM FRONT

Comprised of faculty, staff, students and alumni, the University Senate recommended Rutgers athletics design a five-year plan to eliminate all financial losses, and prepare medium- and long-term budget plans.

In addition, Calhoun’s step into her own lane has let her separate the image she wants for herself as an actress from the image casting directors sometimes ask her to adopt, she said.

“I’ve come across all of that in auditions, where people say, ‘Can you make it more urban?’ or ‘Can you black it up?’ Just all kinds of stuff. I had a director tell me that any time I expressed any sort of emotion in the scene, ‘You just seem angry, it just seems like you’re too angry.’

So he really limited me in terms of my choices, and I think that was in

According to nj.com, the report also requested that Athletics provide copies of its reports to the NCAA, its detailed annual budget statements and its medium- and long-range financial plans to the University community. And lastly, the committee requested that Barchi establish an advisory committee on management, budget and

planning for Athletics.

Barchi could not attend the meeting on Friday due to a prior commitment Friday.

“President Barchi appreciates the deliberative efforts of the University Senate and looks forward to considering their thoughts,” said Greg Trevor, senior director of Media Relations, to nj.com.

The recommendations, provided by Menahem Spiegel, budget finance committee chair and Mark Killingsworth, subcommittee chair, were presented during calls from New Jersey Sen. Raymond Lesniak (D-Union).

“It’s embarrassing to me as someone who went through the economic program at Rutgers to learn that the Rutgers Senate came to this conclusion without

large part because I’m black.”

To that end, another reason why “The Struggle” was created was because the roles for women of color, or women in general, are very limited, and even more so for women of color, Calhoun said.

“As an artist of color, as a black person in America, there were people who died in order for me to have the opportunities that I have,” she said. “To squander that, or to waste that, would be seminal.”

She attributed her abundance of opportunities afforded to her as an actress to her faith, which she said was instilled in her from an early age while growing up in a Christian household and followed her to Rutgers, where she continued to attend church at Jacob’s Well in North Brunswick during graduate school.

“Being an actress is really hard, so it’s nice to feel that there’s something greater than myself working for me to succeed,” she said.

Her other supporters and sources of inspiration, such as colleagues, peers and professors, hail largely from Rutgers, she said.

She said she continues to stay in contact with many of her best friends from Rutgers, and corresponds with her former professors, a number of whom she fosters warm relationships with.

“Because the work with actors is so personal, those teachers really shape who you are in a very real way,” she said. “They have the ability to alter your actual personality and character.”

empirical evidence to back it up,’’ Lesniak told NJ Advance Media.

Lesniak said his preliminary results revealed that an enhanced athletics program will not only benefit Rutgers financially, but also benefit the state of New Jersey in ways that are immeasurable.

Like Lesniak, Gov. Chris Christie said it is the University’s decision to make when it comes to how much money they will spend as being part of the Big Ten, during his “Ask the Governor” radio show on Monday, according to nj.com.

“If we want to be serious players in college athletics, then we need to invest in them,’’ Christie said. “If we don’t, then we don’t. Then we should become schools that aren’t in the Big Ten.”

FOOD & DRINK

Beyond storefront, hidden Easton gem impresses customers NISHIKA SEN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Barndoore on Easton Avenue prides itself on having “real, fresh, local” food, and it most certainly delivers. Everything about this restaurant screams authenticity, from its friendly staff to its cozy decor.

I arrived at the restaurant about five minutes before opening, and the staff quickly unlocked the doors to let me in, as it was very windy outside. The exterior of the restaurant is somewhat deceiving. What at first glance appears to be a small, side-of-the-road food joint, opens up into a large room decorated “barn style,” with three large wooden tables and decorative hanging light fixtures.

The staff sped up their opening process and politely asked whether I would like to dine in or take out. I told them I would like to dine in, and they ushered me over to one of the large wood tables, handing me a menu filled top to bottom with options.

My first thought was, “Wow, this is cheap.” Appetizers and entrees, which normally cost a pretty penny at any food truck in New Brunswick, were being offered for half the price at this sit-in establishment. I combed through the menu, which offered everything from soups, burgers, chicken, tenders, quesadillas and even tacos.

After parsing through the menu, I decided on the Fusion Korean Bulgogi Soft Tacos, the Grilled Rib-Eye Steak, the Caramelized Onion-stuffed Quesadilla and the Stuffed Bleu Burger. I went up to the counter to order and the friendly cashier quickly took down my order.

Although this is a sit-in restaurant, they do not come to your table to take your order.

In a Chipotle-esque fashion, drinks and utensils are selfser ve, but they do bring your food to the table.

All of the food arrived at my table within an impressive 10 minutes. Everything was steaming hot and looked delicious. I started out with the tacos, which were easily the best tacos I have had in a while.

They loaded the soft tortilla shells up with a generous ser ving of perfectly-cooked and seasoned Bulgogi meat, which is essentially a Korean fire-grilled steak marinated in a mixture of spices and combined with soy sauce, garlic, salt, pepper, sesame oil and sugar, topped with an amazing sweet, spicy and tangy Pico de Gallo sauce, with crispy shreds of lettuce.

Every bite was a perfect combination of soft meat paired with crisp tomatoes and lettuce. This fusion of Asian and Mexican cuisine was by far my favorite dish.

Barndoore’s menu options promote variety, ranging from burgers to quesadillas, so no meal has to be the same. NISHIKA SEN

Next I tried the burger. While the meat itself was cooked perfectly (medium rare as I requested), the bun was the main problem. I could taste a hint of the flavors of the burger, blue cheese and fried onions working together, but I was deprived of the entire experience due to the hardness of the bun.

The cheese was melted over the burger, coating it in smooth and creamy bleu cheese. I thought this would be too much in tandem with the cheese that was already stuffed in the meat, but it worked perfectly.

The medium rare meat and cheese in combination with the fried onions, tomato and lettuce caused every bite to begin with rich and heavy flavors, yet end tasting crispy and light. This dish would have definitely come in close competition with the tacos if not for the staleness of the bun.

Finally, I ventured over to the quesadilla. The soft tortilla was stuffed with grilled Rib-Eye steak, which melted in my mouth.

Each piece was coated with a smooth layer of cheese, accompanied by the light crunch and richness of caramelized onions. This dish was perfectly executed in its combination of flavors, but I do wish there had been more spices to add a little zest.

Overall, my experience at Barndoore was phenomenal. The exterior of the restaurant certainly

The juiciness of Barndoore’s cheeseburger is contrasted by its crisp bun, pickle topping and assorted garnishes. NISHIKA SEN does not do justice to the quality of their food. The service in combination with the fresh, hot and reasonably-priced food makes it a go-to for not only hungry college

kids looking for an alternative to greasy pizza and cheese fries, but for anyone in the New Brunswick community looking for an authentic and delicious meal.

Bridging gaps between students, people of New Brunswick CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF CONTROVERSY

KENYA O’NEILL

I

have a question for the general Rutgers population: How many of you able-bodied folk have walked around New Brunswick? I do not mean the walk to Chipotle in downtown New Brunswick or to your favorite fraternity house right off of College Avenue. I am referring to the actual New Brunswick, the barrio, with the Dominican hair salons, the small (but, often crowded) homes and the bodegas on every street corner.

In my four years of being at Rutgers, I have heard countless students talk about how scary New Brunswick is. Most students will not walk past a certain point of New Brunswick. Some students will not even walk on George Street at night, let alone Jersey Avenue. Rutgers students will spend four years in New Brunswick, living on College Avenue and taking up space that could be used to improve the actual New Brunswick community, and then never associate with the community again. Most of us will graduate, boast about the degrees that we earned in New Brunswick and never reflect on how our presence here contributes to the marginalization and poverty that New Brunswick residents face on a daily basis.

Many of us will go to Mexico and Puerto Rico for Spring Break, but we will keep a

safe distance from “them” while we are in the States. We will all continue to get drunk on the weekends, women will continue to be harassed and sexually assaulted, people of color will continue to feel neglected by our University, queer folk will continue to be misunderstood and trans* people will continue to be misgendered. Many people, especially those with complex intersecting identities, will not feel safe at Rutgers, but Rutgers will always be deemed safer than the city of New Brunswick.

As a privileged student who takes up space in New Brunswick, I have often reflected on my own presence here. I have walked

with organizations like PRAB. New Brunswick is an area filled with non-profit organizations, activism and culture, but scared Rutgers students see it as a city devastated by crime and poverty.

I am not here to say that these things do not exist in New Brunswick. There is crime and poverty in New Brunswick, just as there is crime and poverty everywhere.

But when Rutgers students refuse to walk around in certain areas because they are scared, this creates a gap between Rutgers and the New Brunswick community. When Rutgers students refuse to be involved with the community, but still take from the

Some students will not even walk on George Street at night, let alone Jersey Avenue.” around different areas of New Brunswick many times. New Brunswick reminds me of home — I cannot be scared here because the bodegas and Dominican hair salons give me a sense of comfort that I cannot find in the dining halls and classroom buildings.

This past Monday, I met with a representative of the Puerto Rican Action Board (PRAB) to invite her to speak to my “Latinos and Community” class. While speaking with her, she said many students are too scared to venture outside of the Rutgers community, which hinders them from being involved

community, this creates tension. Lately, the disconnect between Rutgers and the New Brunswick community is painfully obvious.

Our libraries closed their doors to non-Rutgers patrons past a certain time, and as far as I know, we never opened our doors for the homeless when we had snowstorms (which we have done in the past). We cannot continue to turn our backs on the community that lives here, while simultaneously boasting diversity. Diversity cannot come without an understanding of privilege, power, oppression, space and race. If we truly

understood these components of diversity, there would not be such a disconnect between the New Brunswick community and Rutgers University.

Now I want to leave you all with something to reflect on. The people who we call Mexican (while some may identify with an indigenous group before they identify with Mexico) have been in the United States for longer than many of us. Puerto Ricans have been around for decades and other Latino groups are increasing rapidly in numbers.

Yet, the majority of us need to deal with institutional racism in many different areas.

Some of us are able to escape this if we are white-passing, but the majority of us are not white-passing, which means we are more likely to be pushed into poor areas and receive subpar education. Our people are simultaneously overworked and underemployed. For many of our families, the cycle of poverty will continue until one of us is lucky enough to break it. So I encourage Rutgers students to understand the institutional racism that permeates the New Brunswick community. If you are truly concerned about New Brunswick being an unsafe area, work toward the correcting said issues rather than avoiding the people who inhabit them.

Courts must evolve to handle discrimination lawsuits

LAISSEZ FAIR: THE INVISIBLE BACKHAND LIN LAN

T

h e r e’s a gleeful, savage kind of backlash to women suing for discrimination. Hundreds of social media followers curl up on their couches in hungry anticipation, fingers itching over their keyboards, sniffing for the first sign of blood.

Ellen Pao’s recent allegations against her former employer, venture capitalist firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, are no exception. “#ThankYouEllenPao for sending a clear message: hiring women could cost your company millions from frivolous lawsuits,” was just one of many Tweets that turned a hashtag created by Pao’s fans into a sarcastic put-down. But why such smug satisfaction?

Why is it so easy for us to self-righteously prey on these failures?

The problem lies in our primitive legal standards. Pao’s jury was asked to judge on the basis of one main question, “Was Ms. Pao’s gender a substantial motivating reason for Kleiner Perkins’ not promoting Ms. Pao to senior partner?”

It seems straightforward, except that no one, especially anyone with an Ivy League degree, would ever openly announce that gender was the reason for not promoting

“

someone. Promotions aren’t like leveling up in a video game, where you collect coins until you hear a satisfactory “ding” and a bright yellow “Good Job” graphic pops up. It’s more like getting picked for gym teams in high school — the more you’re chosen, the more you play, the better a player you become. It’s an ambiguous, subjective and self-perpetuating cycle, and because we are conditioned to value certain types of people more than others, our ideal image of the high-achieving individual often looks more like the

for a weekend at the Hamptons (if you haven’t seen it, don’t worry too much about the logistics). They get away with temper tantrums, rudeness and a sense of entitlement that would certainly have gotten them kicked out, if not arrested, under normal circumstances. Discrimination does not only make us love one person and hate another — it causes us to perceive the same reality in two different ways. Pao’s complaint is not that she wasn’t liked, but that she was disliked for qualities that many men also had.

“Discrimination does not only make us love one person and hate another — it causes us to perceive the same reality in two different ways.” high-achieving white male. Displays of confidence in one person become arrogance in another. Mistakes dismissed as a learning curve for one person morph into unpromising failure for someone else. Yet in discrimination suits, we act as if the people involved are androgynous beings in some hypothetical genderless universe. We wonder, “Was this woman good enough to be promoted?”

What we really should be asking is, “Why was she the only one not promoted?”

I think it’s perfectly summed up by the movie “White Chicks.” In the movie, two black FBI detectives dress as white women

It’s entirely possible for a woman to be aggressive, territorial and unworthy of promotion and still suffer from gender discrimination if the men around her are valued despite having those same characteristics.

If you want a conviction for murder, you find DNA evidence. If you’re prosecuting bribery, you track down the money. Both of these fields have been bolstered by extensive research and refinement over the last few decades. But how do you prove discrimination? Ideally, sexist employers would just say, “I’m not hiring you because you’re a woman.”

Ideally, we would be able to open up people’s

brains, observe their neural pathways and victoriously pinpoint the sexist thoughts as they occur. But we don’t know what discrimination looks like, and it’s not restrained to a certain form. Our only evidence is its devastating consequences — the pathetic percentage of female executives, the lost economic growth of a handicapped workforce and the isolation suffered by millions of real people. You don’t have to see ultraviolet rays to get a sunburn and you don’t need to believe in gravity to know that stepping over the side of a cliff will cause you to fall to your death — but you certainly don’t jump off cliffs just because no one can point out where the gravity is.

It’s not enough to just observe and judge, watching victims struggle with impossible burdens of proof while more people continue to suffer. We need to actively detect sexism, whether it’s evaluating employers or calling out double standards in our own lives. Out of the millions we pour into our justice system, more must be committed to advancing this type of legal accountability, to seeking out fair results instead of leaning back and saying, “Prove it.” If not, then we are exactly jumping off that cliff, knowingly throwing ourselves toward danger just because we can’t see what’s making us fall.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Stereotyping is more of a problem for women of color than it is for white women, so there are layers of stereotypes that come into play.

BATS Rutgers manages just four hits in second consecutive shutout loss to Manhattan CONTINUED FROM BACK Litterio decided to go with Jon Young to get Rutgers out of the jam, but the senior right-hander allowed an RBI-single up the middle to push Manhattan’s lead to two.

Young bounced back, though, retiring the next four batters he faced to leave the Rutgers with a ver y realistic shot to walk off with the win.

But the Knights didn’t take advantage of the narrow two-run deficit.

Despite the top of the lineup due for Rutgers in the bottom of the ninth, the offense couldn’t break out of its day-long slump.

With two outs and sophomore right fielder Tom Marcinczyk on second in the bottom of the ninth, the Knights had a prime opportunity unfold as Vinny Zarrillo, batting cleanup, came to the plate.

Representing the tying run, Rutgers suddenly posed a threat.

But the senior left fielder couldn’t ignite the Knights’ rally, flying out to center field to end the game.

Though sophomore catcher Chris Folinousz his first career triple in the bottom of the fifth on a deep ball to the right center gap, the Knights behind him couldn’t capitalize.

“I don’t think we came out ready to play,” Litterio said. “I think it’s one of those games where we just think we’re going to show up and win a baseball game. We need to do a better job of getting on base and doing some damage.”

Coming off of a conference series loss against Ohio State last weekend, the Rutgers was lethargic against its MAAC opponent.

The notion that Rutgers should have come out with more energy in their midweek game was universal among both coaches and players.

“I just think we were a little more relaxed than we should have been,” Young said. “We’ve got to come out with more intensity. We should never have that mindset where, you know, you just think you can show up and play and win. I just don’t think that we all, as a whole team, played hard enough today.”

The biggest take away from the fall to Manhattan lies in the realization of the necessity for an active hunger for runs and for a win.

The team continues its homestand tomorrow, hosting in-state foe Monmouth at 3 p.m.

After suffering back-to-back shutouts at the hands of Ohio State on Sunday and now Manhattan, it’s no secret that the offense needs to return to form in order to get back into the win column.

To Baxter, that begins with the team’s intensity.

“For Monmouth, we’ve got to come out with more fire and energy, more focus and really tr y to light up the scoreboard as much as we can,” Baxter said. “ I just think we have to focus and play hard in ever y aspect of the game from the guys in the dugout, the guys at the plate, us in the field, us on the mound.”

“We changed up our defense to more of a pressure zone defense which took them a while to figure out. But the first chunk of the game really killed us,” Brand-Sias said.

With only five regular season games remaining, time is running out for the Knights to right the ship.

“It’s really frustrating. We had some really confident transitions,” Brand-Sias said. “We were moving the ball well on the attacking side of the ball, we had some nice defensive sets. Letting it come down to being lopsided on both sides of the ball and letting them be much more productive on the offensive end and their goalkeeper making more saves than we were making, it’s just a frustrating result.”

MEN’S TRACK & FIELD

Junior remains hungry for more Doubles play pivotal role in wins, losses MIKE O’SULLIVAN

LAUREN FORSMAN

STAFF WRITER

One of the most consistent figures in Rutgers men’s track and field over the past few years has been junior javelin thrower Thomas Carr.

An active leader on and off the field, the Voorhees, New Jersey, native has brought a winning spirit and attitude to the Scarlet Knights.

“Tom Carr has been a real force for us since he arrived at Rutgers,” head coach Mike Mulqueen said. “He works hard and it is great to see him get these results.”

The results Mulqueen refers to have been there for Carr, as he has provided the Knights with crucial scoring in the javelin event during his three seasons with the team.

He is a two-time conference champion in his event, having won the javelin title at the Big East Championships two years ago and the American Athletic Conference Championships last season.

He has qualified for NCAA Regionals the past two seasons, and was named American Field Athlete of the Week last season.

Entering his third year at Rutgers, Carr is already No. 2 on the school’s all-time javelin list with a personal record of 72.34 meters (237 feet and 4 inches).

He has already won his event in the team’s first two outdoor meets of the season, taking home victories in the Bulls Invitational and Raleigh Relays.

Despite the success, Carr didn’t always envision himself becoming a javelin thrower.

“I was a baseball player my whole life,” Carr said. “I actually didn’t start javelin until my senior year of high school because my coach wouldn’t let me play baseball for some political reasons. …

But it’s worked out for the best.”

Based on the results, both sides have to be glad with the way things shook out.

He has become a steady influence in training sessions and on meet day — giving Rutgers someone that can always be counted on.

Though his results show he has progressively gotten better at his new craft, the technique required for javelin took some getting used to and still provides challenges for Carr.

“Javelin is unique because it finds a way to combine everything,” he said. “You have to be flexible, fast, powerful and explosive. You have to know where every part of your body is at all times. … There’s really nothing else like it.”

Part of what has made Carr so valuable to the Knights is his ability to cross over to other athletes in different events and build camaraderie with them.

As an upperclassman and veteran on a relatively young team, he has become a leader through his performances and messages to teammates.

Senior distance runner Christopher Banafato has seen Carr’s

growth as an athlete and leader through his years at Rutgers.

“Tom’s been a good emerging leader for us,” Banafato said.

“He’s got a couple of younger guys to work with in javelin and he’s setting a pretty good example. He’s been throwing really well, and it’s really good to see him competing at that level. It’s always good to see a Rutgers guy winning competitions.”

Though success has come abundantly for him at Rutgers, Carr hopes to continue his winning ways and shatter his own personal record soon.

He doesn’t like to look back or be satisfied.

“I’ve been happy to get out there this season, but I’m certainly not where I want to be at by the end of the year,” he said.

“It’s all a work in progress, and I want to become the best I can be.”

Because of the seemingly universal focus on singles in the professional world of tennis, it may be surprising to realize how important doubles play is to winning matches at the collegiate level.

Ben Bucca, head coach of the Rutgers tennis team, is convinced that capturing the team doubles point is crucial to success in singles and winning matches.

Failing to capitalize in doubles puts the team at an immediate disadvantage before the onset of the six singles matches.

“It really impacts your energy and your spirit as you enter into singles,” Bucca said.

The statistics confirm his position.

In each of their six wins this season, the Scarlet Knights (6-10, 0-7) have successfully captured the doubles point.

On the opposite end, during both non-conference and Big Ten play, every time Rutgers has failed to secure the doubles point, they have gone on to lose the match.

As the season progresses, in a pattern that may seem paradoxical, the same players who threaten or defeat their opponents in doubles action may not exhibit the same level of competition against those same opponents in their singles matches.

It begins before the season when Bucca and assistant coach Hilary Ritchie start to pair different players depending on a variety of factors, some of which go beyond on-court compatibility.

“Certainly you want to pair players that emotionally can play well together and that support one another so they become better tennis players by playing with someone, so that’s very, very important,” Bucca said.

Bucca also explained that while he has not had any problems with conflicting player personalities in the past, it would be unwise not to consider obvious differences between players.

“I’ve historically always had teams that had pretty strong comradery,” Bucca said, “So we haven’t had any issues of having conflict outside the court impact what goes on, on the court, but definitely styles of play are different and how some players are more outgoing, some players are quieter, so you need to factor all of that in when pairing a doubles team.”

Beyond intangibles, Bucca tends to pair those with stronger groundstrokes or a more powerful serve with those who perform well at the net.

He also pays close attention to where the players’ strengths lie in terms of their backhand or forehand strokes.

“There are a number of different factors and then it’s just between my assistant coach and I watching everyone play and hearing what the players have to say about who they like playing with.

But ultimately it’s just a gut call on the coaches’ part,” Bucca said.

After spring break, Bucca decided to split up the No. 1 duo, composed of juniors Gina Li and Mariam Zein, who advanced to the semifinals of the doubles draw

at the ITA Northeast Regional Championship last year.

Zein is now playing with freshman Chloe Lee in the No. 1 spot and Li and senior captain Lindsay Balsamo follow them in the second spot.

“I felt as though, in what sometimes happens because the season is so long, the pairings kind of go flat,” Bucca said, “So by changing it up, it reinvigorates everyone. And in this particular case, I am very pleased with the change.

It’s worked out well.”

Against No. 69 Minnesota, Bucca’s decision proved to be a step toward Big Ten success.

Although the Knights ultimately fell, 5-2, it was perhaps the best demonstration of Rutgers’ power against a ranked opponent thus far.

They pushed the Gophers to the brink, with each doubles no margin of victory more than two games.

The real breakthrough came the next time the new duos were tested.

Facing a Wisconsin team that was coming off an upset of No. 53 Maryland, Zein and Lee decisively defeated the Badgers in the No. 1 spot, 8-4.

But Balsamo and Li could not deliver the fatal blow from the No. 2 spot, and Wisconsin took it.

Bucca acknowledged the great difficulty his team subsequently faced in singles play, attempting to recover from the heartbreaking doubles disappointment.

The team can also attribute its comparative readiness to compete with Big Ten opponents in doubles, as opposed to singles, to a deliberate focus on the job of the duos in practice.

“I have to believe that we spend as much time, if not more time, than any other team in the country on doubles. Hilary and I like to teach it and the players like to develop their skills in doubles,” Bucca said.

The team consistently works on approaching drills and service return drills. It also practices serving from close to the hash mark in preparation for singles play, but not without putting significant emphasis on the importance of accuracy from out wide, a basic but indispensible skill in doubles action.

At the level of Division I athletics, especially in the Big Ten, Bucca acknowledges that success in doubles is impossible without constantly working on volleys, lobs and overheads.

“Mariam (Zein) has really elevated her doubles play and she has really become an excellent doubles player,” he said. “... And it stems really from her having an excellent volley and her having excellent timing as to approaching in doubles.”

As the records demonstrate, even though there are more points to be earned in singles play, capturing the doubles point is invaluably important to the morale of the team.

Bucca and his squad will continue to build and pride themselves on their doubles play.

“We spend a decent amount of time on it and it shows in how we play,” he said, “We’ve come so close to winning the doubles point … but I can tell from watching them play that strategically we’re very strong and ultimately, that is going to benefit us.”

In order to collect a sweep, junior shortshop Melanie Slowinski said the Knights need to keep their composure on defense.

THE DAILY TARGUM / APRIL 2013

RU anticipates season’s first midweek series RYAN MORAN STAFF WRITER

On March 25 and 26, the Rutgers Softball team had its two midweek games cancelled due to inclement weather.

Wednesday of this week against Stony Brook (9-8), the Scarlet Knights hope the weather holds.

Facing the Seawolves in a doubleheader at 3 p.m., the Knights (14-9) look to power through their first midweek series of the season.

“Well, this (series) is difficult because it takes over two hours to get there,” Nelson said. “It will probably be the last time we play them in a midweek because the girls miss a lot of school and it puts them in a tough position as far as academics go.”

Asked whether or not it would hurt or help, Slowinski said the extra play can be beneficial.

“I don’t think it can ever really hurt us,” she said. “The more you play, the better you get, the more at-bats you can see.

There’s different pitchers you see and it all benefits in a way.”

Senior left-hander Alyssa Landrith agreed, saying it’s the type of situations training is meant for.

Rutgers looks to continue its momentum from the past few weeks of play, taking both weekends against Indiana and Purdue.

But, the Knights’ skipper doesn’t want the team to get ahead of itself.

“You know the old saying about momentum?” Nelson joked. “It’s as good as your next day’s pitching. I like our chances if we keep scoring a lot. Our last game was the first time we were held to under two runs in a while. We just have to stay after them and stay focused and we will get the result we want.”

In preparation for the game, the team will go through it’s usual off day and have Tuesday practice. Although the starters won’t be announced until Wednesday after assistant coach Misty Beaver gives Nelson a good idea of who to throw, Landrith will likely start one of the two.

Landrith is coming of f a weekend where she earned

Big Ten Softball Pitcher of the Week honors after throwing 17 innings of shutout ball against the Boilermakers.

She thinks the team will continue its recent strong push.

“I think that we are going to come out strong and dominant like we always do,” Landrith said. “That recover y day will be good for us, but we will sharpen up in practice and be ready for the game on Wednesday. We just have to carr y momentum in to this midweek stand and into the next weekend.”

As always, how to go about keeping arms ready for pitching is the topic of conversation for the Knights.

Nelson said he wants to extract the best per formances out of them in each appearance.

“I don’t want to stress out any one pitcher in the series, but we are tr ying to get two wins,” Nelson said. “The more games we win, the better chance we have of getting an at-large bid. We need to keep winning these series and win a couple of games for the tournament. Our goal is to get to the regionals and make some noise there.”

Prior to the doubleheader on Wednesday, the Seawolves will have a doubleheader on Tuesday against Columbia.

With four games in a tightened window of two days, the Knights may be able to catch their opponents at the right time.

But for Rutgers to capitalize on that advantage, the defense will have to remain polished. Like any team, the Knights struggle when they make errors in the field or have mental lapses.

“You have to put it in the past and move for ward because dwelling on mistakes — there is nothing you can do about it,” junior shor tstop Melanie Slowinski said. “You just have to move for ward. You know how to field, you know how to hit — you just have to correct it and take a better approach.”

WOMEN’S LACROSSE LEHIGH 10, RUTGERS 8

Mountain Hawks quell Knights’ late rally BRIAN FONSECA STAFF WRITER

On a night where snow fell softly on the turf at High Point Solutions Stadium for most of the match against Lehigh, the Rutgers women’s lacrosse team looked to put an end to its losing ways.

In front of a national audience on Big Ten Network, the Scarlet Knights displayed a gritty effort. For most of the contest, they were in the thick of a tightly contested battle with the Mountain Hawks.

But the skid continued for Rutgers in a 10-8 loss to Lehigh — a program record 11th straight defeat.

With 2:24 remaining in the match, Krista Dampen scored what ended up being the dagger to Rutgers’ comeback hopes. Despite a valiant effort from the home side and a late goal from junior attacker Kim Kolodny, the Mountain Hawks (7-5) left Piscataway with their fourth straight road win.

After Kolodny’s second goal reduced Lehigh’s lead to 9-7, the Mountain Hawks took advantage of the lack of a shot clock and played keep away to maintain possession and drain the clock.

The two teams exchanged goals in the final minute, with Kolodny completing her hattrick to knot the score at 10-8 with 40 seconds remaining, but it was too late.

The Knights (1-11, 0-1) head to Annapolis on Saturday to face the defending national champion and consensus No. 1 team in the nation, Maryland, in the middle of the worst stretch of play in program history.

Sophomore right-hander Colin Bohnert entered in the seventh, spinning a perfect frame of relief for Baxter.

But the following inning was a different story.

After a groundout to second and a fly out to center field to start the inning, Bohnert ran into trouble. Back-to-back singles placed the Jaspers in prime opportunity to scratch one more run across the board as they clung to a 1-0 lead late in the ballgame.

Success demands to be earned.

The Rutgers baseball team (8-17, 3-3) got a taste of this harsh reality during its midweek home game at Bainton Field against Manhattan College (7-16, 3-3) yesterday.

Handed a 2-0 loss at the hand of the Jaspers, the lethargic Scarlet Knights offense failed to get on the board.

Led by winning pitcher Tom Cosgrove’s three-hitter in seven innings of work, Manhattan stifled Rutgers at the plate. The Knights offense was quiet for much of the afternoon, limited to just four total hits.

The lack of production at the plate left the result in the hands of the Knights’ pitching staff — and the three lone arms prevailed as best as they could.
