Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Undergraduate GPA data of a major research university in Canada from 2013 to 2016 were analyzed to identify GPA gender gaps. Results indicate that while female students outperform male students in terms of GPA, male students tend to have higher GPA standard deviation. Consistent with other business schools, the male students in the sample outnumber female students, but the proportion of male students who received a university entrance scholarship is lower than the proportion of female students admitted who received scholarships. In comparing the two business programs, the GPA gender gap is larger in the program that has poorer overall performance. Male students are overrepresented in the left tail of the distribution in terms of GPA but underrepresented in the right tail of the distribution. These findings support the theory that in terms of university grades, men (if they win at all) win through extremes and women win through averages.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
