Lol our CS and math departments had the exact same thing. I remember our algebraists were 50/50 men and women but the algorithms folks were 5% women.
The math vs CS dept thing is concerning because at the foundations they're very similar fields. It's such a strange phenomenon that my graph theory elective in the math dept was 30 or 40% female, yet algorithms was 5% female. Definitely at my institution there were structural issues in the CS dept that didn't exist in the math dept.
