For many of these schools, they have kept the sports programs to maintain a more balanced ratio; DEI expenditure in action.


Someone has a correlation causation misunderstanding.


DP but sports was a huge pull towards the school my son will attend. Not just the sport he will play, but facilities, intramurals, and just watching sports. Sports are kinda DEI for boys but maybe that’s not a bad thing.

My DD is at JMU and does not think it feels “ female heavy” at all. COB major so don’t know if that makes a difference

My kids said JMU felt very gender balanced and never noticed it skewing female.


JMU is about 57% female.

This is great. Loyola Chicago is like 30M/70F. DD said, no thanks. Why is LMU Chicago so lopsided.

Loyola University Chicago is LUC (LMU is in LA). Probably lopsided due to the nursing program.

This, Any school with large numbers of health and education related majors is going to have a gender imbalance. Nursing, speech, social work, counseling, education, etc.

CU Boulder is 53:47 Male to Female and Wisconsin is 47:53 Male to Female. It feels 50:50 on both campuses.
