Message: [QUOTE="Puppy Love, post: 3398269, member: 8101"] If your assertion that women do not support their colleges is true, then it would appear that schools have a long term problem on the horizon. About 56 to 58 percent of bachelor’s degrees today are earned by women, with similar numbers for masters and doctoral degrees. That number is about the same advantage men held 50 years ago and might still be increasing. It would appear that the future fundraising will be in jeopardy as older male grads move out of the workforce. No issue lives in a vacuum and this one is compounded by the fact that despite equal education, women still make less. It is one reason I don’t donate to my school, although there are many others. I am generous with causes that matter to me (homelessness, hunger, domestic abuse, children). In general, why would women donate to an institution that left them with greater debts than male students and less capacity to earn? You can correctly say it isn’t the schools fault, but it is still the reality women face. It will be interesting to see how institutions change to adapt. [/QUOTE]
