In conclusion, there is no statistical gender disparity in terms of recognition in the community,<br />
however, majority of students do not feel acknowledged for their contributions. On another note,<br />
female students believe they do not have equal opportunities to other students. It is important to<br />
note that a certain group believing they do not have equal access to opportunities does not mean<br />
that that is the case. However, it would be worth further investigation.<br />
Key Next Steps<br />
<strong>WLA</strong> recommends that ALU further investigates the female perception that equal opportunity does<br />
not exist. This can be done in the next ALU UX report and through focus groups. While this is not<br />
highly alarming as less than 50% of females concur, it is worth uncovering and dealing with the<br />
root cause of this perception as it could lead to other challenges.<br />
ALU could also use focus groups to further investigate on why more than 50% of the student body(<br />
male and female) feel that their efforts are not recognized. This could point to a toxic element in<br />
the ALU environment which was mentioned more than once during the <strong>WLA</strong> focus group<br />
discussions.<br />
