Amy - Re: "Still pretty low. Since Intel tends to promote VPs from within, one aspect of the solution could be to modify the corporate culture a tad. "

You hit the CRUX of the issue.

Promote from within - which implies the available "pool" is the current employees.

The "current employees" come from another pool - the universites (mostly) and primarily form the science and engineering departments.

Now I ask you AGAIN - what per cent of the graduating engineers from US universities at the BS, MS and PHD levels are female ?

Look back historically.

Do you think that 50% is the right answer?
