A lot of people in the comments here are spinning it as if boys are being systematically discriminated against when the article explicitly says the opposite:
>>> “Is there a thumb on the scale for boys? Absolutely,” said Jennifer Delahunty, a college enrollment consultant
And many aren't even putting in the proper diligence:
>>> "Ms. Gereghty said she found that girls more closely attended to their college applications than boys, for instance making sure transcripts are delivered."
- Aerroon 5y agoThe issue isn't that college acceptance is discriminating against boys, it's that boys aren't as interested in education. The aftermath of this won't be felt for a while, but it does indicate some shift in society. Some of them might even view college as a hostile place.
