"Quietly Stripping the Pastels": The Undergraduate Gender Gap
View through CrossRef
The "new" gender gap refers to women as the majority of the undergraduate student population, and the national newspaper discourse on this trend represents a value system that translates into societal implications and potential policy. The media portrays a "boy crisis" with male students as the victims of female students' enrollment success. The guiding objective in this feminist discourse analysis is to identify and analyze the rhetoric used in three national newspaper sources to highlight the gendered stereotypes that shape public and higher education opinions and is harmful to the success of both men and women students.
