Economics of gender inequity for Prof. Chichilnisky

Washington Post(Dec.3,2007 page B2) published a story of discrimination apropos of a professor at Columbia University. I wish to cite a case in a Maryland college in 1983 and 1984 re two American professors of Chinese ancestry,one was forced to resign after 17 years as a tenured associate professor and the other was terminated after 18 years as a tenured full professor with four years record as Head and Chairman of the Economics Department plus publications and contributions to textbooks by professors at Harvard and Stanford. Why? Their face value is different from the white and black Americans with the varied face value in ethnicity. Asian Americans are usually considered as so-called foreigners by less educated folks who have not honored 14th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. We are living in the 21st century now and economic situations are different as the result of the rise of China and other nations in Asia with economic clout. "It is the economy. Smart folks would understand!" Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson cited such situations in re the rise of China lifting the economy of the United States and humanity in his speech at the Asia Society on December 5, 2007 as per CCTV-4.
