[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA is 56% female, which is more imbalanced than my son’s SLAC. [/quote] That’s because UVA must take two-thirds of their students from VA. If that constraint didn’t exist, they could balance the gender, especially with 50,000 applicants. [/quote] Um you are missing the point. The topic of this thread is whether this is particularly a liberal arts college issue. It is not. UCLA by the way is only 41% male. [/quote] But understanding the dynamics of what causes these imbalances could be helpful. [/quote] Well I don’t think it’s correct that UVA can’t be 50/50 because they are constrained by their 2/3 in state rule. There is no evidence of that and it doesn’t make sense. [b]Presumably they could admit 50/50 in state applicants and 50/50 out of state applicants. [/b][/quote] If they did that, the women enrolled would be more qualified than the men.[/quote]
