The title gives you one impression, but in the article you find that college attendance for men is higher than it was 10 years ago - it is just that attendance for women has grown even more.
No, there are not only more people attending college, but also a higher percentage of people - different source so the date range differs, but per NCES [0] in the year 2000 the percent males/females in college was 33/38, and in 2018 it was 38/44
