College enrollment gap is leveling off

Here’s one bit of good news. The college enrollment gap–more women than men–appears to have leveled off. After falling from 55% to 45% of total students (graduate and undergraduate) between 1975 and 1995, men’s proportion has settled at 43% over the last five years. Hopefully, we have reached the nadir for this ratio and the new attention to boys’ needs from birth through high school will raise the ratio closer to gender parity.
