I don't know how his university is, but our has a quota of how many men and women get admitted each year. There is an exam you sit on (it's all pure math problems for the CS course) and the top X women and Y men enter. The exam is the same for both genders. The average score of the women who get admitted is consistently slightly lower than that of the men. That said, the difference isn't really big and I don't think the women have it any easier, if we accept that their innate ability is lower than the men's. It's computers, not rocket science, it's not that hard after all.
