I would think roughly 50/50 would be a good number.
But, your implication seems to be not that more women are going to college, but that many fewer men are. I wonder why that would be?
I would have a hard time going to college now, just because of the politically-correct-verging-on-fascistic environment nowadays. But, most college age men have been raised in schools like that, as have the women, so....I don’t know.
That’s one reason I’m retiring this year. I could teach five more years but the PC noose is tightening.
Women are afraid that reaching the 60% point in college classes might result in the loss of affirmative action admittances (the key driver of the 59% statistic); blacks are already clamoring to have white women removed from the “preferred minorities” list (in terms of college admissions, government jobs/contracts, etc.) because they maintain they have less cause to “be aggrieved”.
In many areas whole affirmative action quotas are filled by Hispanics and white women, with no black faces to be seen...
