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 seems that Ms. Kapor Klein believes______.
选项
A、the root of the problem is people’s arrogance
B、there is a long way to improve existing prejudice
C、the racism is still serious
D、people need to have an open mind
答案
B
解析
根据题干关键词定位到最后一段。最后一段主要阐述了卡普尔.克莱因女士的观点,他认为“就是这种极端自利的谬论——以为我们是最好、最聪明的,以为最佳的想法会脱颖而出,并得到资金,导致对纯粹精英主义的信奉依然存在,尽管大量严谨的数据显示事实恰恰相反。”她还指出,大量数据显示,少数族裔获取科技项目和人脉的渠道要比白人男性差。由此可推断卡普尔.克莱女士因认为改善目前存在的这种偏见还有很长的路要走。故B项为正确答案。A项“问题的根源是人们的自大”,C项“种族主义仍然严重”和D项“人们需要开阔的视野”均是对文中信息的表面化理解,故排除。
