Take a look at the list of faculty members in the overwhelmingly female nursing school at the University of B.C., and you will find very, very few male names. So is the government forcing the school to hire a slew of men to even up the gender balance? It doesn't seem so.
No, the government-imposed gender discrimination seems to go only one way (against men) and only in schools/departments teaching traditionally male subjects  (engineering and the like).
