At a recent scholarship awards ceremony I attended the woman gathered much more scholarships than the men. Of course they probably very well deserved it. However there were many women-only scholarships that I am assuming were setup to increase college admissions of women. Which is of course also perfectly okay. However, there is a huge growing gender gap [1] in college admissions that favors women.
If an equality program is so successful that it creates an equality imbalance in the other direction what do we do?
We could cancel the programs and call it's goal completed, but this seems wrong.
We could create new programs that target raising admissions of men, but that also seems wrong, at least in the current climate.
Maybe it's just the case that men don't prefer college as much or perhaps it's too expensive when you can't get scholarships because your not the right identity.
