<p>This issue is getting way overblown. Vassar is a school with about 2,500 very diverse students. Yes, it is very welcoming of LGBT students (a good thing!), but there are tons of “straight” kids of both genders as well. To be clear, lots of straight men choose to attend Vassar for all the obvious reasons – it is an exceptionally good school as measured across any number of criteria. As posters above have indicated, the statistical differences in the number of men and women at the school is not a big deal compared to peer institutions unless you are a statistician perhaps. Many liberal arts colleges have somewhat fewer men than women. The difference between 43% or 45% or 47% or whatever is hardly worth debating. I think the issue would become much more real if one were considering a school like Cal Tech or one over the service academies as an alternative, where the ratios are more unbalanced.</p>
