craig 680 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 It's harder to get into Ivy League colleges is you are female, because their admissions officers now favour men to maintain some semblance of gender parity. Colleges fear they'd be less attractive to both genders if a merit-based 60-40 ratio in favor of women was allowed to occur.https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2015/07/30/achieving-perfect-gender-balance-on-campus-isnt-that-important-ending-private-colleges-affirmative-action-for-men-is/?postshare=9291438354436766 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didymus 34,380 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 That second sentence though. Am I stupid or does it seem like 3 sentences together that don't make sense? Not getting it. If this is to correct the 60/40 pro-women rating I guess it's not a crime. Edit: Nvm, is = if. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whispering 18,865 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I can understand this, from a marketing standpoint...but it still sucks. Why are there more females going to college and less males anyway? When I was looking at colleges at College Confidential, I noticed that most schools had more females than males. It must have gotten even worse. Why aren't guys going to college? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
