"Reach" for males is not the same as "Reach" for females

<p>Do the math, and you’ll see how these statistics are created. Imagine school XYZ has room for 4000 freshman. 7000 males applied and 10000 females applied. If they decide to split their freshman class 50/50, they will admit 36% of males and 25% of females. If they decide to do a 55/45 split, which many colleges seem to be doing, 25% of males and 22% of females. Even when overall, more females are admitted, it appears they are at some type of “disadvantage,” even if the admissions process is based entirely off merit. Lets say it was and many more females apply than males, as usual. Though more females may be accepted than men, are you guys saying they are discriminatory because they didn’t admit at the same RATE as they did males?</p>
