do u think universities should accept equal numbers of male and female? why?

Answer 1

I think that gender should not be a consideration. The only basis of decision should be academic and extracurricular achievements. Obviously, if there was a serious discrepancy in the numbers of male and female students under such a system, then something should be done, but I'd probably do it at the high school level. (Aside: I don't believe it's a good idea to compromise academic integrity to allow under-represented groups to be more represented unless there is a clear bias. After all, if they couldn't have gotten in on the basis of their academic and extracurricular merits, then they'd be at a disadvantage to all the other, better prepared students. It's best to attack that at the primary and secondary level.)

If I am not mistaken, at the time being the number of women in college is slightly higher than the number of men (and, as someone else pointed out, in terms of population, there are more women than men for the most part). The more interesting thing to look at is particular areas of study. For instance, for whatever reason, the sciences have a low proportion of women, and no one's quite sure why.

Answer 2

Asuming there is an equal number od suitable aplicants then yes. If there is'nt then no.
A college, or other acedemic or teaching institution should enroll solely on the suitability of the aplicants, be that scholastic success, work experience or skill. Gender should not be an issue at all.
However, it is important that all courses make sure they are equally available to both sexes and do not follow tradiional stereotypes which may favour one sex over another. That is not to say that there will always be an equal splint of the sexes amongst aplicants but the option is there if they wish.

Within courses however it is often a good idea to trya nd equally mix sexes (such as in group or project work) in order to avoid domination by any one sex and to encourage equality in the field of study.

Answer 3

Not strictly equal, but at a university which isn't specifically a single-gender institution, when the balance becomes too lopsided, it becomes difficult for those in the underrepresented gender to have a full chance. A few years ago, my own school had an overbalance of females, and I had male students complain to me that when they were working on team projects, their ideas were ignored by the women, just as used to happen to women when they were in the minority.

Answer 4

No. Colleges and universities should admit solely on the basis of who has good grades and the other indicators of success in college. They are not there to provide a dating service, nor to be Politically Correct. They are there to provide an education.

Answer 5

I think any college I attend should have 90% gals

Answer 6

They should accept the best SCHOLASTIC applicants REGARDLESS of ANY other criteria.

Answer 7
