Tulane spokesperson Mike Strecker on Monday reiterated that Tulane doesn't lower its standards for men. "We simply do not have lower admission or academic standards for our male applicants," Strecker said in a prepared statement. "Both our admission and enrollment profiles reflect that." According to The New York Times Magazine, the current gender ratio at Tulane has led to complaints among some students about a challenging dating scene and leniency toward male students in classes and admissions. While one higher-education consultant told the magazine that Tulane has not actively been trying to shift its gender ratio, some female students said they felt like their male counterparts weren't held to the same academic standards.
