My mother showed me an article in one of her magazines the other day talking about how since in the 70's they established a program to encourage women to enter university by letting some of them in even if they had lower grades than some men who didn't get in, I guess basically like all the other affermative action programs. What's funny about this is that now, women outnumber men in most universtiy programs and the same policy is allowing some men to get in with lower grades than some women who didn't get in.
Of course this is considered bad now that it's putting women at a disadvantage.
I support affermative action type programs in some forms, but I think that if they are going to institue something like this, they need to keep the policy in place even if the dynamics change.
