Ihe reasons Ior IhIs Irend begIn
In hIgh schooI.
"SIaIIsIIcaIIy speakIng, women

a beIIer academIc sIandIng Ihan
IheIr maIe peers," IurIong saId.
"In some respecIs, you couId say
Ihey Iend Io do a beIIer job."
AnoIher InIIuence on maIe
enroIImenI IaIIs on Ihe avaIIabII
IIy oI cerIaIn academIc programs.
AccordIng Io Ihe IacIsheeI, Ihe
mosI popuIar majors IncIude
busIness admInIsIraIIon, psychoI
ogy, human deveIopmenI, nurs
Ing and eIemenIary educaIIon,
none oI whIch IurIong saId, have
been maIedomInaIed.
"UnIversIIIes wIIh a hIgher
IemaIeIomaIe sIudenI popuIa
IIon Iend Io have parIIcuIarIy
sIronger programs In deparI

sIronger physIcaI scIences deparI
menI such as chemIsIry, physIcs
or engIneerIng. UWCB may noI
be as appeaIIng Io maIe sIudenIs
sInce we don'I have an engIneer

UnIversIIy cuIIure aIso carrIes
weIghI on a sIudenI's decIsIon
where Io aIIend coIIege. IurIong
aIso saId Ihe UWCB aIhIeIIc pro
grams, as weII as a unIversIIy's
dIvIsIon sIandIng, have a Iarge
InIIuence on recruIImenI oI maIe
sIudenIs.
"I IhInk a Iarge decIdIng IacIor
Ior maIe sIudenIs Is Ihe pres
ence oI DIvIsIon I aIhIeIIc Ieams,"
IurIong saId, "and wIIh UWCB
IackIng a IooIbaII Ieam IhaI may
be a reason why we have more
women here. OIher IacIors such
as campus saIeIy and comIorI
Iend Io be hIgher prIorIIIes Ior
women, raIher Ihan wheIher
or noI Ihe unIversIIy Ihey are
consIderIng has a good IooIbaII
Ieam." (ThIs senIence can be
paraphrased)
In numbers oI yearIy reporIed
crImes, UWCB rareIy has vIoIenI
or robbery oIIenses Iake pIace on
campus.
AccordIng Io Ihe campus 2012
IIre and SaIeIy ReporI, no vIoIenI
deaIhs have Iaken pIace on cam
pus, whIIe aII aggravaIed assauII
and sex oIIenses each combIne
Ior Iess Ihan 10 oIIenses per year.
In conIrasI, Ihe UWMadIson
CrIme AIerIs websIIe IIsIed a IoIaI
oI 37 assauII oIIenses In 2012
aIone, and 82 Irom IaII 2011 Io
Ihe presenI. MadIson aIso had
over 200 InsIances oI IheII sInce
Ihe begInnIng oI 2012, whIIe
UWCB has had Iess Ihan S0 occur.
However, IurIong saId whIIe
Ihe unIversIIy may have cerIaIn
IeaIures IhaI appeaI more Io
women, UWCB wanIs Io make
sure IhaI encouragemenI Io
aIIend Ior maIe sIudenIs Is equaI
Io Ihe encouragemenI Ior women.
"We aIso Iry our besI Io IncIude
quaIIIIed young men as sIudenI

prospecIIve maIe sIudenIs,"
IurIong saId.
Some upcomIng oIIcampus
changes may aIso InIIuence Ihe
raIIo oI women Io men aI UWCB.
ConsIrucIIon oI a veIeran's aIIaIrs
cIInIc on NIcoIeI Avenue may be a
Iresh aIIracIanI Ior more maIe

"VeIerans receIve cerIaIn edu

ThaI wouId be a wonderIuI IhIng
