The New Gender Divide
Wilson, Robin
Chronicle of Higher Education, v53 n21 pA36 Jan 2007
This article focuses on gender gap as a current trend in student population among schools. The author presents an honors course in statistics at Elon University--a class of 10 women and just one man--as an example. The imbalance is becoming more familiar at Elon and on many other campuses where women constitute a firm majority of undergraduates and an even greater proportion of the very top students. Nationwide, women make up about 58 percent of undergraduates, according to the U.S. Education Department's most recent statistics. Here, the author discusses the measures that schools are taking to counter the widening of this gender gap.
