How do universities respond to the request of recruiting counselors accused of gender discrimination?

Recently, some students reported that the announcement of 20 18 open recruitment of counselors issued by Huazhong Agricultural University1June 26th contained contents suspected of gender discrimination.

According to a graduate who originally graduated from the school, in the announcement of recruiting counselors, the school clearly marked "there are 6 males and 6 females in the school 1 person". "The phenomenon of gender discrimination is too obvious. We only recruit one female student, but also seek students from our school."

In this regard, a person in charge of the Personnel Department of Huazhong Agricultural University said that the school did issue this announcement, but there was no gender discrimination. "Counselors in our school often have to eat and live with students. Female counselors must have no problem before giving birth to children, but it is not humanized to let her live in school after giving birth to a second child slowly, which is not suitable for our position."

A staff member of the Hubei Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security165438+1October 8 told the reporter that there is no clear management regulation on gender discrimination in employment at present. "This is the first time we have received a report. Whether it constitutes gender discrimination requires further investigation. "

On June 26th, 10, the official WeChat account of Huazhong Agricultural University posted a recruitment announcement, showing that on June 26th, 2008, Huazhong Agricultural University openly recruited full-time counselors for the society. "There are 9 counselors in this recruitment, including 6 males in natural sciences (including science, engineering, agriculture and medicine), 1 female in our school 1, and 2 full-time counselors for ethnic minority students."

In this regard, Lin Xue (pseudonym), who graduated from Huazhong Agricultural University majoring in biology, thinks that "the phenomenon of gender discrimination is too obvious". "There are only 1 girl in seven places, and girls still need students from our school. This ratio is unfair. "

Lin Xue said that he has graduated from school for two years and is now studying in another university, but he often pays attention to the dynamics of his alma mater. "I used to practice in a human resources department in Wuhan. During my internship, I found that the recruitment of some positions often has special requirements: it must be a boy. That is, no matter how suitable the conditions of girls are. "

This internship experience made Lin Xue pay special attention to gender discrimination in employment. "Because I am about to graduate myself, I have to start looking for a job, and I am worried that this kind of gender discrimination will also occur."

This is not the first time that Huazhong Agricultural University has seen such a situation. In the school official website, the reporter found that the Announcement of Public Recruitment of Counselors in Huazhong Agricultural University in 20 1 17, which was released in 20 16/0, also clearly stated that "there are 8 counselors in this recruitment, including 4 graduates from our school (3 males and 3 females 1 person).

School: Female counselors can't adapt to their posts after giving birth.

On June 1 65438+1October1day, the newspaper contacted the Personnel Department of Huazhong Agricultural University, and a person in charge of the department said that the school did publish this counselor recruitment announcement, but there was no gender discrimination and there was no other statement about the same school or other campuses.

"This year's recruitment policy is mainly in discipline. It was published after careful consideration and according to the actual situation of the school, seeking the specific needs of employers in academic and industrial sectors. "

The person in charge said that Huazhong Agricultural University is a university with a strong agricultural major and has very strict environmental requirements for students. Counselors often have to eat and live with students. "There is definitely no problem for a female counselor before giving birth to a child, but it is not humanized to let her live in school after giving birth to a second child slowly, which is not suitable for our position."

In addition, the person in charge also explained that there are many management cadres in the school who do not recruit. Male psychological counselors often change jobs to administrative or management positions after one or two years. Most counselors are lesbians. "Let's also look at the gender ratio of counselors now. Girls have to recruit relatively little."

As for why girls only recruit students from our school, the person in charge said: "Many counselors we recruited last year were literature majors, such as ideology and politics, Marxism-Leninism and so on. But our school is a natural science school. Sometimes counselors need some professional knowledge in the process of guiding students. From a disciplinary point of view, we need to recruit people related to our major to serve this year. "

Provincial People's and Social Welfare Department: Does discrimination need further investigation?

Except for the 20 18 counselor recruitment announcement, it was complained that there was gender discrimination. In several other recruitment announcements recently issued by official website of Huazhong Agricultural University, the paper reporter also found a similar phenomenon.
