Males Now Admitted At Formerly All-Female College

	posted by Scott on Tuesday May 29, @06:12PM from the education dept.
	Nightmist writes "Part 2 of Christian Science Monitor's series on men in education details how men are now being admitted at a formerly all-female institution, the students at which used to sport T-shirts demonstrating the "Top 10 Reasons Not to Admit Men." Commencement speaker this year was William Shatner. A school official pointed out how appropriate it was for the captain of the Enterprise to speak where men are now "boldly going where no man has gone before."" Click here if you missed part one. And thanks, Nightmist, for all these great submissions!

Also Worth Noting... (Score:2) by Nightmist (nightmist@mensactivism.org) on Tuesday May 29, @06:25PM EST (#1) (User #187 Info) Part 2 of the above series contains a couple of interesting sidebars. Scrutinize the right side of your browser after you've read the story for links to them all. Among them you will read what boys themselves have to say about their educational state of affairs. It is obvious they are not oblivious to their predicament.

what this article didn't say... (Score:1) by Tom on Tuesday May 29, @10:13PM EST (#2) (User #192 Info) The amazing thing about this article to me was that as I read it became apparent that the administrators who were encouraging the schools to attract more men were doing so not out of a sensitivity or understanding for boy's difficulties or a man's need, or a sense of fairness but because their schools would not do as well without men. One woman offered the telling comment that if there were fewer men she wouldn't have come to that school. They want more men due to economic reasons and to keep the women happy not becuase they are male friendly. Here's a quote from the article: "Look, everyone wants it to be as diverse as possible, and that includes having a good number of men," says Miriam Cohen, a history professor at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. "But we are just not going to get hung up on it." Reverse the scenario and have fewer women being admitted and you would see Missy Cohen getting hung up about it! Double standards suck.
