Demia Butler Chair

Should it be described as the "first endowed position at an American university designated for a female professor," or as the first endowed position at an American university to discriminate on the basis of gender? 2600:1700:7D01:29F:257F:C24:39CA:72A0 (talk) 19:56, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You would need a reliable source to support the claim that it is "the first endowed position at an American university to discriminate on the basis of gender." And it's unlikely to be true as I imagine that many chairs that were endowed before this one specified that they're only for men. ElKevbo (talk) 00:35, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
