...Take DeLong's experience, multiply it a few thousand times in schools across the state, and it isn't surprising that at her campus this year, the freshman class is nearly 61% female. In a freshman English tutorial, small clusters of men sit quietly as women dominate class discussions. But outside class, the mood on campus is distinctly male friendly. Tyler Willingham, social chair of the Sigma Nu fraternity, observes that at parties, even guys without dates can choose from "many beautiful women...
...Public universities, though, could face legal challenges if they were to try recruiting more males. In California a strict anti-affirmative-action statute effectively precludes gender-based outreach. In Texas and Florida - both of which have largely abolished preferences in admissions policies - state officials say there are no special plans to lure more men. Many schools still try to balance programs historically dominated by one gender (like engineering and social work) by offering slots to underrepresented students. But that doesn't necessarily boost, say, the number of Hispanic males. And that has led some educators to skirt the recruiting rules...

...about $5 billion in interest. That gives him little to spend on efforts to promote economic growth, which remains his overarching priority. But even if he had the money to spend, he'd have to contend with the fact that he lacks a majority in the legislature, and most state governors still belong to the PRI. The charisma and swagger that helped him sweep out the PRI with only limited backing from his own National Action Party (PAN) aren't going to help him govern - his success now will rest on his ability to cut deals and make alliances...
