It should be noted that no gender preference is stated in the institutions' recruitment or promotion policies and practices or in procedures for professional appointment or conferment of professional titles. Headship of departments and faculties is in most cases a concurrent appointment for academic staff and, in some cases, such positions are filled by peer election or by rotation of department or faculty staff.
In future, the Sex Discrimination Ordinance which was enacted in July 1995 for phased implementation will make it illegal to discriminate against women or men for employment, promotion, transfer or training.
