They are. It's getting fairly ridiculous. Maria Klawe is, to put it lightly, a single-issue president. I'm glad she came (I did work with her husband my senior year and was grateful for the opportunity) but I'm getting sick of seeing bright kids accepted by Caltech and MIT but not Mudd...to tweak the gender ratio.

Yea it is interesting. I guess there is a chance that this works in the long term. In other words, with a 50% female ratio, more girls start applying to standards are able to be raised. And maybe even some smart guys come because of the favorable ratio. But I am really worried about the performance of the graduates in the short term.
