I assumed the graph you are talking about was for grads and
undergrads. Perhaps someone from the *Tech* can explain these poorly
labelled charts?
The "ruler method" here doesn't take into account differences in class
size from year to year, which might be non-gender-neutral.
But I wouldn't be surprised if there was a gender differential in the
combined dropout/transfer out rate.
