Academic Affirmative Action For Men?

An interesting aspect of this, for me, is how the colleges seem mostly concerned about the attractiveness of their institution. "If we have too many women (60%) we won't be getting as many applicants." As with so many things, it sounds like an issue that is being driven by the dollar concerns. The issue of what this says about young men and how they are responding to societal changes is largely ignored. Could it be that young men see university as irrelevant? Could higher education become viewed as something that is more for women? I strongly endorse trying to recruit intelligent young men to enter professions and especially the notion of beginning to recruit at the high school level. But I don't see the point of lowering admission standards. That does not address the real issues - only the issue of creating a social "balance" (read maintaining the proper proftit margin).
