An outside investigation found women who teach at London’s prestigious Ivey Business School face“systemic discrimination” when applying for promotion or tenure, documents obtained by The London Free Press say.

The discrimination involves the potential bias of student evaluations of female faculty members and the school’s handling of “parental leaves/family responsibilities,” the documents say.

But the investigator’s report concluded the discrimination at the Western University business school was not the determining factor in the rejection of tenure for a female professor whose complaint prompted the investigation.

The professor, Allison Johnson, 45, has since filed both a union grievance and human rights complaint against the business school.

The dean of Ivey, Sharon Hodgson, acknowledged in an emailed statement to The Free Press that discrimination of female faculty is a concern.
