Some people think that universities should accept equal numbers of male and female students in every subject. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Applicants of

universities

are facing increasing

gender

discrimination nowadays in their admission step and some people suggest that

universities

should maintain a 1-1

gender

ratio in all their subjects.

Although

I can understand the reason

behind

Correct pronoun usage

itbehind

show examples

, I think it goes too far towards the other side of a balance.

Gender

-related bias does exist in some

universities

. It is common practice for some departments to provide limited facilities for female

students

and sometimes they even publish admission criteria saying that they only accept male

students

.

For example

, in some colleges specializing in marine sciences, female is forbidden to apply for those majors that may involve sea activities in their curriculum.

This

gender

preference will in turn strengthen the stereotypes that dominate people's minds, resulting in the declining will and effort of future high school graduates of a certain

gender

to get enrolled in

such

programs.

On the other hand

, I believe the essence of

this

topic is to guarantee that

students

of both genders are offered the same opportunities to study their desired subject

instead

of wasting too much time discussing the exact numbers of

students

getting enrolled.

Students

should be permitted based on their qualifications

instead

of genders. Making it compulsory will possibly be harmful to the university because some applicants do not need to excel in their performance but still get the chance to get enrolled due to

this

admission policy. While I understand the necessity of

universities

' taking actions against

gender

prejudice involved in the enrollment process, I don't think it makes sense to force departments to accept equal numbers of male and female

students

.
