The Legal and Policy Implications of Male-Benefiting Admissions Policies at Public Institutions: Can They Ever Be Considered Affirmative Action for Men?
Birnbaum, Matthew; Yakaboski, Tamara
Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice, v48 n1 p23-46 2011
Women represent an increasingly large majority of undergraduate students, currently comprising 57% of total U.S. undergraduate enrollment. To address this gap between women and men undergraduates, some institutions have developed admissions policies to yield more men. This study examines the key issues the U.S. Supreme Court might use when considering the constitutionality of such policies and then examines the problematic nature of the Court's existing criteria for determining the legality of policies that use sex- and race-based classifications.
