College gender gap widens: 57% are women

Yahoo News reports:

In May, the Minnesota Office of Higher Education posted the inevitable culmination of a trend: Last year for the first time, women earned more than half the degrees granted statewide in every category, be it associate, bachelor, master, doctoral or professional.

Cause for celebration - or for concern?

Before you answer, consider the perspective of Jim McCorkell, founder of Admission Possible, a St. Paul program to help low-income high school kids prepare for college. Last year, 30% of the students were boys. This fall, that has inched up to 34%, but only because "we actually did a little affirmative action," McCorkell says. "If we had a tie (between a male and a female applicant), we gave it to a boy."

There you have it.The new trend in admissions is beginning to appear right before our eyes.Decades ago the white male was favored at many places.Then affirmative action came.Now,we've moved full circle:the white male is going to be favored.How many colleges want to turn into women's colleges?
