This is a catch-22. And yes, I see your "pay people more" answer, but nobody gets paid for this stuff directly and paying people for committee service (as a baseline) would quickly have real budgetary impact given the number of committees. There aren't always perfect solutions

This also seems to assume that everyone serving on any committee is in a better socioeconomic position than any female or POC colleague could be, which is obviously unlikely to be true. There are likely overworked white guys on any given committee who say yes anyway because
(pick 1) they think it's important; they think it's good for their career long term; they don't feel comfortable saying no.
That may be a real problem, but we can't solve all problems simultaneously. And sometimes dealing with one exacerbates another.

Anyway, castigating people for identifying and trying to address one real problem because they can't also fix other problems seems counterproductive. JMO, and I'm happy to hear other views.
