Is that a typo? As it is, I read the last phrase as "40% of the female students are majoring in CS", not "40% of the CS majors are female".
- cafard 15y agoI assume that the author means to say "40% of the majors in computer science." For what it's worth, the college's own web site says 34% female, 36% class of 2013.
