[QUOTE=Kevin Finnegan] . . . but this lists the undergraduate enrollment at 61% female, 39% male.
This is huge, generally unaddressed problem.
Between 1990 and 2005 I guest lectured often at Ohio. On one occasion the late Mel Helitzer (at whose home I stayed so often I dubbed it The Helitzer Hilton) asked to me speak with an upper level class. It numbered 22 students - 20 women and 2 men.
I told those men that they likely would find it easy to find employment as employers were looking for balanced workforces. To illustrate that point, I related a comment that the late Harold Burson, co-founder of the global consultancy Burson Marsteller, said to a gathering of the 500 or so headquarters employees. To wit, he said that he was concerned that his company's employees were becoming "too female." He related that he had heard from clients - our company was one - that they wanted a more balanced representation of Burson-Marsteller consultants.
Marketing, communications,human relations have become increasingly female dominated. And small wonder. At most global industrial/technology companies like the ones where I worked - General Electric, TRW, Timken - engineers were abundant. Too few women were majoring in engineering. (Has that changed?) But in fields such as marketing, communications and human relations, women found that they could compete, did so and flocked to those majors while in college.
