As Gizortnik said, men and women work in different fields, often. Not everyone is or should be 50/50. So if one subset of jobs comes back, it could heavily favor women, if another comes back it could heavily favor men.
There can be discrimination involved, or at the very least past discrimination that led to disparities, but there certainly doesn't have to be.
Is there discrimination in this case? Potentially. The admin certainly loves to tout and promote women, so it's not out of the question that they could have pushed for such an outcome, but it's also very possible that those are just the jobs that ended up coming back. They'll certainly take credit for it either way, though.
