re: #438 palomino

It’s a stunning combination of barriers breaking down, women achieving more and young men overcome by apathy. Parity would be nice, but we live in an increasingly competitive world. I never thought I’d say this, but we can’t admit underqualified men just to make enrollment data appear more equitable.

I agree that preferences for men is a bad policy. I would just like to see the same kind of effort dedicated to male academic achievement as still is in place for women. How many men are encouraged to go into female dominated fields? How many scholarships go to men pursuing degrees in education, or nursing?
