I wouldn't overthink it... it looks like it's an English-as-second-language issue. These folks seemingly come from a French-speaking university, and in French the masculine form is used when referring to a group made up of both genders; there is no gender-neutral equivalent to "they" in French. (This is less and less true in Canadian French, but this is irrelevant here.)
