The whole point of the article is that the ostensible goal of equality of outcome was used to justify moving away from equality of opportunity.
"Given the phenomenal academic success of women in higher education over the last 35 years, reflected in an eye-popping cumulative gender college degree gap of 13 million more college degrees for women than men, how do we justify the continued gender favoritism for college women in terms of female-only scholarships, awards, fellowships, programs and many other campus resources?"
If we had true "equality of opportunity" there wouldn't be either male-only scholarships or female-only scholarships, etc. I totally agree with your point that equality of opportunity doesn't mean equality of outcome, but this isn't what equality of opportunity looks like either.
