Ellen Pao spent the last few years spotlighting the technology industry’s lack of diversity, in court and beyond. Erica Baker caused a stir at Google when she started a spreadsheet last year for employees to share their salaries, highlighting the pay disparities between those of different genders doing the same job. Laura I. Gomez founded a start-up focused on improving diversity in the hiring process. Now the three are starting an effort to collect and share data to help diversify the rank-and-file employees who make up tech companies. The nonprofit venture, called Project Include, was unveiled on Tuesday.
As part of Project Include, the group plans to extract commitments from tech companies to track the diversity of their work forces over time and eventually share that data with other start-ups. The effort will focus on start-ups that employ 25 to 1,000 workers, in the hope of spurring the companies to think about equality sooner rather than later. The project will also ask for participation from venture capital firms that advise and mentor the start-ups.
Project Include aims to have 18 companies as part of its first cohort; a few have already signed up. The group will meet regularly for seven months to define and track specific metrics. At the end of that period, the group will publish an anonymized set of results to show the progress—or lack thereof—that the start-ups have made around diversity.
The group’ s push is intended to cut through tech’ s slow pace of change on diversity. Large companies, including Google, Facebook and Microsoft, have openly admitted their failings in creating diverse work forces, and some have started programs to move
the needle
. But that has not seemed to spur much movement in views on the issue. In December, for instance, Michael Moritz, a partner at the venture capital firm Sequoia Capital, made headlines when he said in an interview that his firm—which had no female investment partners in the United States—would focus on hiring women but would not "lower its standards" to do so. He also said the firm was blind to gender and race.
"It is this incredibly self-serving mythology that we are the best and the brightest, and that the best ideas rise to the top and will get funded," said Ms. Kapor Klein, noting there is plenty of data to show that minority access to tech programs and networks is worse than that of white males. "Despite an avalanche of rigorous data to the contrary, the belief in pure meritocracy persists."
It can be inferred from the first paragraph that______.
选项
A、Ellen Pao spent a lot of time diversifying the court’s structure
B、Erica Baker is an experienced HR in Google
C、Ellen Pao, Erica Baker and Laura I. Gomez found a start-up together
D、Project Include is aimed to diversify the employees in tech companies
答案
D
解析
根据题干关键词定位到第一段。本题可用排除法。根据第一句话可排除A项,因为原文是说鲍康如这几年来一直致力于揭露科技行业缺乏多样性的情况,不论是在法庭上还是法庭外。而不是花费大量时间来多样化法院结构。根据第二句可排除B项,原文并没有提及埃里卡.贝克的职务及工作.故此项属于过度推断。根据第三句可排除C项,原文是说劳拉.I.戈麦斯创办了一家公司,而不是三位合作创办的。故D项为正确答案。此外根据最后一句话,也可知道上述三位创建“容纳计划”的目的是使科技企业的员工构成多样化。
