[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colleges do not pursue gender diversity.  At least the ones larger than 1,000 student enrollments.  Men are still discriminated against in STEM fields.  Sorry, but not sorry it is true.[/quote]

Some do. My kid is at a T20 that has far more female applicants but kerps accepted students to 50/50.[/quote]

How can it be top 20 if they are taking inferior candidates?[/quote]

I'm not the poster but look at Brown, so many more women apply than men.  So yes, I think many women were more qualified than the men selected but I have seen the amount of complaints about balancing classes for gender as race.  They are both protected classes.  It will be interesting to see if gender makes it to the supreme court or not. It is funny when schools allow women or men into balance the population they are all qualified applicants but no one believes that the minorities selected were qualified.

[b]I prefer balancing, I want a diverse school for race, gender, and income.  I think it adds value to class discussions, friendships, and the overall community. [/b] [/quote]

My daughter had no desire to attend a majority female school.  Balance is a good thing.[/quote]
