The gender gap refuses to improve at many schools. I used today's new MiM ranking to add the percentage of female faculty and students are the ranked schools. The schools with the highest and lowest totals are ranked below. The order of attributes is: School, Female faculty (%), Female students (%)

So in terms of the lowest, that's the majority of the German schools that are ranked (with the exception of Mannheim), as well as the majority of Indian schools (except SP Jain).

I think those student numbers in Germany reflect the preferences of students from Asia, and their families, since Asians are the major consumer of MiM programmes in western Europe. Also, given the huge gap in price between the state universities and the private business schools I think it's very hard for local students to justify hight fees. On the faculty side, I think they certainly reflect gender bias in doctoral programmes and in the way childcare is supported in Germany, as well as the less family-friendly nature of the private German business schools. 

Broadly speaking, Germany has been investing in programs that aim to get more women into university orbit and eventually professorships / faculty / research.

The gender balance has shifted somewhat over the past years, but still isn't on par with some other European countries. 

I looked at the listing of faculty at Mannheim Business School and roughly 25% were women. I assume that lines up similarly with other b-schools in the country.

You are somewhat mistaken. Rather than everywhere being rather similar, there are big differences between the schools. That is evidenced by the data in the post that opens this thread. 

You seem to feel that US schools should have more women than the rest of the world. But actually, US schools in the top 100 MBAs have fewer female faculty and students than those outside the USA.

What is often seen is that the percentage of female students is around one third higher than the percentage of female faculty. Another sight of being female friendly is that the school does is improving the percentage of female students, since that is easier to change than the number of female faculty. However, even there some schools stand out as poor performers. In some schools the percentage of female faculty is both low and equal to or higher than than the percentage of female students. The numbers are in the same order below: faulty and then students.
