College: Where the Boys Aren’t
In the past 20 years, the gender distinction in college enrollment not only evened out, it actually reversed. Whereas in our day, many colleges consisted of 60 percent men and 40 percent women, by 2015 the average college graduating class will be just the opposite and, if current trends continue, by 2020 the ratio of women to men attending college will be 2-to-1. What are your thoughts on this issue? Were you aware of this relatively recent gender reversal and accelerating difference between the number of young women and young men on campus? Should something be done at the federal or state level to address the topic?
