mapkinase's Journal: Ask Slashdot: The rise and fall of gender-segregated schools

CNN writes about recent decision of Randolph-Macon Woman's College officials to start admitting men:

In the eyes of the board of trustees, going coed could help stabilize the school's finances as interest in all-women schools wanes.

Question: why admissions to women only colleges are falling? It is obvious that attending women-only college diminishes the social interaction with the opposite gender. There are recent studies that such segregation is actually good for academic achievements of girls in high schools. Do female applicants of typical freshman age feel that they lose something without interacting with peers of opposite gender? Is it because of general decline in the discipline imposed on youngsters by adults in the past that young women are more inclined to do what young men and women naturally want to do - have fun? The paper compares the current admission rate to 60s:

Enrollment this fall was about 700, down from a student body of almost 900 in the 1960s.

and

Across the United States, only about 60 women's colleges remain, from nearly 300 in the 1960s, according to the Women's College Coalition.

60s are usually associated with civil rights movement, women lib included. In the 60s women felt that women-only colleges empower them and help them to fight the gender-gap in education. Not in 2000s? Does it mean that now feminists finally "won"? According to this paper:

In the fall of 2000 there were 5,578,000 men and 7,377,000 women enrolled in college as undergraduates.

So was it all about winning a battle in the war of the sexes and not about the quality of education?
