How would you respond to this statement about college admissions

Some time ago, maybe post #169</p>

<p>“I’m thinking she might have meant 60/40 women to men, not the other way around. And not to achieve this exact value, but to be less than 60/40, and more towards 50/50. It seems that some places are not achieving this, even now.”</p>

<p>“Yes, I meant 60% female…”

</p>

<p>That was only addressing the blatantly wrong number, but none of the real issues listed below.</p>

<p>

The issue is still about your statement that LACs (and the top LACs) are struggling with a gender imbalanced enrollment and are forced to admit LESSER qualified male applicants to maintain a “reasonable” balance. A balance that you pegged at 60 woman to 40 men. </p>

<p>It’s really not that hard … do you have ANY evidence that the top LACs are struggling to find a sufficient number of well qualified men to fill their fresh(wo)men class? And then what is the basis you use to define the lesser qualifications that seem to afflict those poor men at the top LACs.
