Description Jump to:

This 74-page study presents data from a representative sample of 1186 full time American college students from 4-year colleges and universities in the USA.  Students express their opinions on the pervasiveness of discrimination against men, discrimination against women, and the existence and degree of gender bias in grading.  The study helps its readers to answer questions such as: which students believe faculty and administrators are biased against men? Women? How do these biases manifest themselves? The report focuses on traditional gender distinctions; a separate report on bias against transgender students is forthcoming.

Just a few of the report’s many findings are that:

  • Students who grew up in the South and to a lesser extent, the Northeast, were more likely than others to believe that men are discriminated against at college.
  • Women were a bit more than twice as likely as men to feel that women were discriminated against at their institutions.
  • Nearly 20% of the students most left wing politically believed there was bias against women in college grading.

Data in the report is broken out by more than 20 personal and institutional variables, so, for example, readers can get specific data on views on gender discrimination on campus by first year students vs. juniors or seniors, or for students in level 1 research universities vs. doctoral institutions, or for male vs. female or vs. transgender students, or for business/economics majors vs fine arts majors, etc., etc. 

Breakouts include age, year of school standing, major or intended major, religion, gender, sexual orientation, income level, SAT/ACT scores, college grades, regional origins, race/ethnicity, level of school tuition, size of school of institution attended and many other variables. This is a critical resource for policy makers in government and in universities and colleges as well as a unique data source for social scientists and other studying higher education and information technology.
