In early March 2015, an eMail by a female German professor apparently rejecting a male Indian applicant due to the 'rape problem' in India made news. (The issue is a bit more complex. There is some discussion whether the eMails were selectively quoted and the professor has since apologized.)
What bugs me however is the following paragraph (which may or may not be what the professor has written, and which seems to be ignored by the news media):
"Many female professors in Germany decided to no longer accept male Indian students for these reasons, and currently other European female association are joining."
Is this a thing in Academia? Has anyone heard about hiring bans, either formal or informal ones, based on sex/gender and/or nationality?
