40、n brag that female students have progressed tremendously. Though still underrepresented in calculus and other advanced-level science and math courses in high school, women now outnumber men appl ying to and graduati ng from college so much so that it appears some colleges are giving male applicants
41、an admissions boost. As a result, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights is examining whether colleges are engaging in widespread discrimination against women in an effort to balance their male and female populations.Consider some of the numbers at leading schools: At Vassar College in New York State,
42、a formerly all-womens college that is still 60% female, more than two-thirds of the applicants last year were women. The college accepted 35% of the men who applied, compared with 20% of the women. Locally, elite Pomona College accepted 21% of male applicants for this years freshman class, but only
43、13% of female applicants. At Virginias College of William & Mary, 7,652 women applied for this years freshman class, compared with 4,457 male applicants. Yet the numbers of each who gained admittance were nearly the same. Thats because the college accepted 45% of the men and only 27% of the women.A
44、2007 analysis by U.S. News & World Report, based on the data sent by colleges for the magazines annual rankings, found that the admissions rate for women averaged 13 percentage points lower than that for men. But percentages dont tell the whole story. It could be that the men were stron ger can dida
45、tes, or they might have applied in areas of engineering and science where womens numbers are still lower. But such justifications, even if true, are unlikely to fully explain these numbers. At schools such as the Uni versity of Califor nia, where admissi ons rely overwhel min gly on statistical meas
