[lbo-talk] women outnumber men in college

[Jim Devine]

> ... "The trend is well established,'' says Richard Black, associate vice chancellor of admission and enrollment at UC Berkeley. "There are more women than men at most American colleges and universities.''


>The average student body across the country is 58 percent female,
according to B.J. Johnson, a woman who is dean of academic and
enrollment services at the University of San Francisco. ...<

this may be related to the "new gender gap": as a percentage of the
total, women are much more likely to read books than men are.

One theory is that men's brains can't handle a book when there's a
lighted screen (PC, game cube, TV, etc.) in the vicinity. But women
("natural multitaskers") can.
