It’s not that people will be exactly equal but rather you can validate admission criteria by comparing graduation rates and GPA’s.
If men and women graduate at similar rates and have similar GPA’s then your admission criteria are presumably reasonably unbiased. If men have lower GPA’s and graduate at lower rates then presumably their admission criteria should be raised to account for biases you aren’t aware of.
If however you underrepresent men relative to the general population you may want to focus on attracting more of them through advertising.
From an outside perspective this might seem unfair. Why is the school spending so much money mailing to young men while requiring more extra curricular activists to be admitted? It’s a question of equal standards vs equal opportunity.
