Women who attended the FBI's training program were dismissed at higher rates than men, received harsher evaluations and faced sexist remarks by instructors, according to a Department of Justice Inspector General report released Tuesday.
Women accounted for 46% of all the trainees dismissed during that period, despite the fact that they represented only 25% of the entire group, the report shows. More than 40% of female trainees surveyed said that men received more favorable treatment during tactical evaluations and that instructors criticized female trainees more.
“Creating and maintaining a training environment free from bias is critical to ensuring equal opportunities for all new FBI agents and intelligence analysts,” DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz said in a statement.
