With women students as the majority, what do they need?
Not too long ago women were barely visible on college campuses. Formal education was unnecessary for girls who "would only get married and have babies."
That attitude has changed dramatically, and women are now about 57% of students earning undergrad degrees.
Marlene Kowalski-Braun, Grand Valley State University MI, and Dr. Kelli Zaytoun, Wright State University MI, directors of Women's Centers at their campuses, noted that campus women still encounter policies and attitudes designed by and for men.
Speaking at the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA) conference in Denver in March, they described how student affairs professionals can contribute to women students' success.

A crisis in the academy?
Kowalski-Braun and Zaytoun noted media attention to the "crisis" in the declining number of male students. Since 1975 the number of women students has increased substantially, while male students have plateaued. From 1990 to 2000, men increased 7% and women 14%.
