The Men and Masculinties Knowledge Community

This KC was founded upon a pro-feminist, anti-racist, gay-affirmative agenda with the hope of providing resources to increase multi-cultural competence among male students by providing the NASPA membership with tools to invite and engage men into this process. The underlying assumption is that men in general are interested in social justice, capable of enacting it, and that they need language and a connection to the process.

An oldie but goodie--NPR Radio Program

Morning Edition, May 17, 2005 · The gender gap in higher education overall is widening in favor of women. Colleges are handing out 200,000 more degrees to women than to men this graduation season -- even as the debate over attracting women to the sciences continues.

Thanks for this posting Osvaldo. As we know, the gender gap is really complex. I think it also begs the question, is it inheriently bad? There sure is a lot of value placement in the popular media. And what kinds of men are not enrolling? Middle/Upper class white men are doing just fine. What does it mean that colleges are employing "affirmative action" for men?
