AAUW Update

On Tuesday, May 20, AAUW released the most comprehensive analysis to date on trends by gender, race/ethnicity and income in education. The findings of Where the Girls Are: The Facts about Gender Equity in Education show that girls' successes do not come at boys' expense. Rather, when girls do better in school, so do boys. While the report finds no evidence of a boys' crisis, it does uncover large disparities in educational achievement by race/ethnicity and family income. The report received front page coverage in The Washington Post.
