Hi,there,
I am glad to have access to the website, and hope to make some friends and improve our English together.

Could you help explain the usage and grammar of the sentence below?

The effect of there being more women than men at colleges has created some noticeable changes.

Is the grammar similar to this one: Would you mind my opening of the window?

Many thanks,

ChingH
