Asked Sunday whether her appointment signified the end of sex inequities at the university, Dr. Faust said: "Of course not. There is a lot of work still to be done, especially in the sciences."

I've found it interesting that men applying to college at a lower rate, starting college at a lower rate, dropping out at a higher rate, and being horribly under-represented in numerous disciplines such as art history, social work and, dare I say, women's studies, never seems to fall under the heading of inequalities that need to be addressed. I guest they're just humorous examples of some of the ways that boys will be boys.
