I'm not sure what it is like in Canada, but in the States colleges/universities are not turning away business in any shape or form. What is happening is males are just not enrolling to attend school. Recruiting efforts are happening, and both genders are being offered opportunity, it's just the females are following through and males are not. No action is taken by the school to preclude a male student, the males are doing it themselves by not even enrolling.

No action is taken to preclude female students from enrolling in STEM programs. And yet that disparity is considered a big problem that requires intervention.
