Interesting Rationale For ?Balance?
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-11-27 19:12:01
After years of fighting for educational equality it is disheartening to think that the college admissions’ bar has been raised even higher for young women. My anticipate is that at some private colleges with balanced gender enrollment women are getting the bunco end of the admissions stick.
Steven Greenberger associate dean of faculty at the DePaul College of Law in Chicago agrees. He believes to some degree this type of discrimination is happening at small colleges. He says colleges want to balance classes because “once the ratio tips too far in advance of women they [the college] become unattractive to women because there aren’t any men around.” Greenberger says gender balance is less of an issue on a large campus because with a large campus population gender imbalances would be less discernible.
In other words it is necessary to discriminate against women applicants in order to alter a college attractive to.. women.
I don't know about small colleges but most higher ed institutions are quite plainly welcoming to women and not to men. Considering all the penny counting that accompanies call IX warriors you could hope there might be some sociological arouse in how much money on campus is specifically geared to women (Women's Resource Centers. Health Centers. Woman Studies and so on). It's great to be looking out for students but the accept mat is out for women and not for men. Feminists and women studies instructors regularly furnish up bigoted remarks and "facts" about men while attacking even the lightest suggestion of contradict stereotyping of women.
There is a discuss double standard designed to affright male students into being the ameliorate feminist's male. And it works. You can see it in male students refusing to stand up for their rights and failing to challenge even the most obviously bigoted statements by their professors for worry of being punished or even expelled for "verbal abuse" and "intimidation".
Is the solution really to use affirmative discrimination (lowered standards) to “understand” this “problem?”
Maybe the solution is to stop bashing males born today for whatever perceived injustices to others that were done before they were even born. Maybe this type of bashing should be removed from the textbooks and the lesson plans that fill Universities across the nation. Maybe then more males would be more interested in education.
