Why aren’t males attending college?

[Anonymous]

They won’t be anymore you didn’t read project 2025

Sane with DD

Fun times coming ahead,

Not sure why people think college will be a thing when there will not only be no jobs but women won’t be educated and only pure whites will be admitted

Agreed! Acting ultra-feminine doesn’t make them homosexual.

No, but when they introduce themselves with pronouns or say they are bisexual, gay or whatever, as our T20 tour guides have - I tend to believe them.

DP. I don’t believe that your male tour guide introduced themselves as bi, gay or “whatever”.

That's fine - your beliefs have no bearing on my lived experiences.

How many heterosexual white Christian non-athlete males are a % of top 10 schools these days?

This. But I would change it to heterosexual white Christian non-recruited-athlete. You almost never see them.

Maybe 100 at each college.

Many young males are just done with school after 12th grade. They want to go DO something.

Men are short term thinkers in general.
Women are more long term thinkers.
Women also plan not only for their own success but also for that of future children.
Men focus on how much they need only for themselves to live.

Plenty of men in college. Just that overall, these differences between the genders play a role.

Maybe the boys are flocking to Duke, Vandy, Notre Dame, and of course the SEC schools. Probably not attracted to the bullhorn babes at Brown, Columbia, Oberlin, Swarthmore, Haverford, Wesleyan. Can’t blame them.

What about the men that worked on long-term engineering projects like water/sewer, power grid, dams, interstate highway system, aviation, etc?

Take this out if the DCUM realm.

Look at Western Illinois University, profiled in the Wall Street Journal a few months ago.

Enrollment has plunged from 10,000 to 5000 in the last five years.

Their former director of enrollment management publicly stated that the school was suffering from a lack of white males and underrepresented minorities. The latter understandable in Macon, Illinois, the former really concerning.

Her response? Admit a significant number of students from low performing Illinois high schools with grade points of 2.25 to 2.75. Lower the grade point average to retain a Western Commitment scholarship to 2.0. Permit students with a first semester gpa 0.0 to continue. And double the financial aid pool to attract these students. The result? A 52 percent retention rate after the first year. The enrollment manager was fired - my guess is that she was doing what she was instructed to do.

Illinois schools and indeed the entire suffer from huge pension obligations - 43 percent of the budget goes towards pension obligations - leaving not much for instruction or research. With those pensions Illinois is at the top of the list in per capita public university spending; without them they are still in the top 5.

I mention all of this because the white male student shortage stands out. I am from Illinois, and my high school was very good and did not send many to the directional schools. But if you wanted a criminal justice degree and excellent job placement in law enforcement, Western was the place to go. And yes, that program - their best and largest in the school - attracted many white males. I think the challenge is males in general however.

This is a complicated subject and the escalating costs of a college education is not an easy subject to unpack. But WIU may not exist in five years - think of a Radford going poof - and Illinois public university enrollment has plunged from 380,000 in 2011 to 260,000 today and experts think it will soon head to 200,000. Since UIUC and UIC will likely continue to thrive, this spells massive retrenchment for these other schools.

So much bull shite here. Where do you come up with this drivel? None of what you post is true.

I see you’re not one of the brighter ones….let me help you. A few examples/exceptions does not negate a generality. There are not ZERO men going to college. Duh. But there are less than women and this thread is asking why. There are general differences between the genders, biologically and evolutionarily.

There is nothing special about white males in terms of their missingness from higher ed compared to any other race

This. I never realized it. DC just started college, but luckily just 2 days a week. He just sent me a list of thing he wants to do: get a job, join a gym, hobbies, travel, meet friends,socialize.
I grew up on the farm in the old country. We always had something physical to do. Those kids here have only sports. Most teenage jobs are not that physical.
