Massey University chancellor Chris Kelly accused of sexist comments .......A university chancellor has been accused of sexism after he said a female veterinary graduate is worth only "two-fifths" of a full-time veterinarian. Massey University chancellor Chris Kelly told Rural News that a female graduate is less of a vet because she has to take time out for marriage and family. The article about practical changes in farming and vet work courses was published last week.......................

He kind of has a point to be fair

• More women apply for vet pre-selection in comparison to men. Of the 340 each year the ratio is about 75-25 and the same ratio get into the programme, which had an intake of 122 this year. • The hours of work reported by male and females vets in the industry is the same until age 30. Across all ages women working as vets report working an average of 37 hours a week and men report working an average of 45 hours a week.
