As a woman who graduated in 1985
in computer science and currently specializes in cryptography, I find the propogation of female stereotypes at any university abhorrent. You are a STEM school and also doing this? Do you expect hiring leaders in technology fields to take you and your school seriously? Rolla used to be a gold standard; it saddens me to see this kind of poisonous sexism continue to happen.
