Scottish universities committing to gender balance on their governing boards is a step in the right direction (“Scottish universities make board gender balance pledge”, 9 April).

Such a pledge diverts from doing exactly that while gaining positive, eye-catching headlines in the meantime – a perfect procrastination strategy.
