Quotas

Does anyone know anything about quotas, whether they be race, regional, or gender quotas? I know only Columbia's admissions officials really know the facts behind their quota system, but I'm curious what people have to say about the issue. For example, if a disproportionate number of males relative to females applied from any region, would the female have a stronger chance of acceptance due to the lack of female competition? I'm assuming that would be the case, but I wonder how significant such a factor would be in the admissions process. Any thoughts?
