The Post reports on an American Council on Education study of gender in higher education. They found:

• The gender gap is stable. Men now account for 43% of undergrads
• Latino men are the exception to this growing male trend; they are falling further behind Latinas
• But, women are twice as likely to return to college after age 25 than men
• The largest gender gap is among African-Americans: 59% women/41% men
• Men still dominate in advanced degrees (no stats given)
