'The gender gap in higher education is growing – and it may be due to how universities admit students and help them pay for school.
Men earn 42 percent of bachelor’s degrees, 38 percent of master’s, and 44 percent of doctorates, according to the American Institute for Boys and Men.
The group provided several reasons for this gap when asked by The College Fix.
“A pertinent data point is that a lower percentage of men attending college get aid – for example in the 2019-2020 school year, 67% of male undergraduates and 74% of female undergraduates received any aid,” a spokesperson told The Fix via email.'
