In a 1991 report it was shown that many college women, especially conservatives, would not want a woman or an African-American to be President of the United States. Data are presented from a 1989 report by Persell and Cookson of 1035 high school seniors, showing Ivy League colleges and other highly selective colleges appeared to discriminate against female applicants. Even though both male and female applicants were from the pool of what elite colleges might consider to be the most qualified candidates, 92% of the boys but only 77% of the girls were accepted by the colleges
