Men continue to abandon academia by any measure — applications, enrollment, attendance and graduation rates. How can colleges and universities convince boys that the time, effort and expense of a diploma is worth it? Do any college executives have the political will to do anything about it?

The woke culture claims that women are bad at math and science, yet all the skills taught in home economics require mastery of both. A good tailor/seamstress and a carpenter and a materials science engineer share the same skill set. A cook is a chemist. Accounting, time management, and conflict resolution are necessary in any business and in most households.
you’ve been watching too many chick flicks on lifetime. good luck with your bad self however. self confidence is a top priority when you’re trying to tackle the world order.
I’ve long told any high schoolers who ask me about how to proceed after they graduate, “Learn to weld.” Even if they decide to waste time on college, being able to weld guarantees they’ll be able to find a paying job whenever they need one.
This pretty much validates my feelings on the current state of higher education, so at least we men have that going for us….which is nice.
the one thing men will always have that women won’t….the ability to adapt without leaning on someone else.
There used to be programs that enlisted business owners to open up a few apprentice jobs for the disadvantaged in high school and, sometimes, in middle school. My cousin found these business people in Chicago who were willing to help and he did so for years. From plumbers and electricians, to chefs, to seamstresses, to auto mechanics, and contractors, it gave the ones who could not or would not go to college a way to survive and make a living. They learned from the ground up. Not everyone needs to go to college and not everyone should. Learning a trade as an apprentice is how most people got jobs back in the day.
I believe we’re exiting the “Realizing there’s a problem” stage, and we’re about to go into the blame stage of “What’s wrong with men for ignoring college, those stupid knuckle dragging MAGA chuggers!”
The only part I’m not certain of is the timing. Probably when we get our first news story of a college having to lay off ten Vice Presidents of Diversity & Inclusion
not to worry brobob….the weak-minded gamma male girly boy eunuchs being churned out by the millions in k-12 assures the matriarchy of limitless fodder (road kill) for the coming decades of angst, pathos and feminist dogma.
“embrace the suck”…as nancy schmancy would and in fact did say. then there’s mazie hinrono: “I just want to say to the men of this country: Just shut up and step up”.
another way of putting it is that men have responsibilities while women have rights. the old ‘my body my choice’ thing-a-roo except when it comes to selective service, prison terms, welfare, child support and alimony.
I’m gonna have to keep up my subscription here after all. But Bill is, I think, wrong. Universities are NOT selling education – they are selling a brand, a kitemark, for your CV and also future networking opportunities. And there are plenty of jobs out there for grads in Crapola Studies in the public sector, charity sector, media, NGOs, politics, academia and sadly also in the private sector through HR depts and their ever more numerous D&I (diversity and inclusion) roles.
But I also think we will see more companies, especially in certain industries, bypass universities entirely by starting up their own apprenticeship or internship schemes. That will take time, of course.
Those in charge of the Academies are the “Men Without Chests” that has previously been discussed.
These are the same sort of feckless males that run the place of my current employment — afraid of their own shadows.
Government funding to promote the increased college enrollment? Well, let’s not forget that we will get exactly what we pay for…..
[spoiler title=”…”] CRAP! [/spoiler]
Males of all ages are continually sacrificed on the altar of affirmative action.
I ended up dating a couple of Stephens girls while at UM.
Let’s just say they were both … interesting people 🙂
I don’t consider the degree I got from USC a waste of $80k. But certainly the the actual education was way overpriced.
As the male population drops, will universties have a “where the boys are” problem? Declining enrollment of women cause there are any good boys at college?
I was thinking something similar when they started the segment. With the attitudes toward boys and the ideas they’re trying to give girls, I’m not sure if they will miss the boys or not.
At least until the transgender fad wrecks everything with guys gaming the system and the women wondering where they can get laid on the weekend. They won’t need abortions after all if they can never get pregnant.
