Universities should accept equal numbers of male and female students in every subject. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is widely believed that higher education institutions,
universities
in particular
, are encouraged to admit the
students
with 50:50 gender composition in every single program. I definitely disagree with
such
regulation with some following reasons. The
first
reason why it is not wise if
universities
admit the equal numbers of
students
in both genders for every subject is human
rights
. Every human in
this
world is born with
rights
including
rights
to study. It is even guaranteed and acknowledged by the United Nations. It means that every citizen in
this
world possesses equal opportunities to study regardless the genders, races, religions, and skins. To be more specific, in regards to genders,
universities
are
also
required to provide the same opportunity without considering sexes. Admitting equal numbers of male and female
students
doesn’t mean provide the same opportunity.
Moreover
,
universities
are not able to control the numbers of male and female of prospective
students
applying.
For instance
, it may happen that in art subject, women predominantly apply in a university for almost 70% of the total applicants. So, should the university forcedly admit the
students
by gender composition? The
second
reason is gender types determine different interests and potentials in terms of determining the majors that they want to study. Colleges should accommodate
this
matter by just admitting the
students
based on their capability rather than sex composition.
Furthermore
, many researchers reveal that sex types determine both the preference and potential that lead to subjects choose.
For instance
, men tend to possess more physical strength than women so that they tend to dominate the major that need more physical power
such
as: mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and some other relevant subjects. To conclude, I totally disagree if
universities
only consider gender-composition balance in student admission because it is contrary against human
rights
, preferences, and potentials of the
students
.
