Minority Gender Gaps in Higher Education: Facts, Hype and Solutions 
A longstanding problem in higher education in America has been the disparity between the numbers of women and men who enter college and who leave it with a degree.  Males, particularly African American and Hispanic males, are increasingly outnumbered.
