The Task Force on Women in Science and Engineering was formed in 2005 and charged with making recommendations for measures to build a "pipeline" of women pursuing academic careers in science, from undergraduate through graduate and post-doctoral studies and into advancement through faculty ranks. At the same time, the Task Force on Women Faculty was formed. The task forces came about after a controversy was sparked by remarks that the President of Harvard made on women in science and math in January 2005.
