Stats of VA schools:

Thanks. VMI’s median is better than those of GMU, JMu, VCU, UMW and CNU as expected. It might not be popular in (liberal) Northern Virginia but it’s still not a bad school. [/quote]

It may be the best state public school in the country for students who believe they will benefit from a more disciplined, military education.  Admittedly, this is a niche, but it is significant.[/quote]

Yes, fewer and fewer young adults want a school that is notably racist and sexist with people yelling at them all the time.  It is a "niche" demographic for sure and becoming more "niche" al the time.

Reason why freshman admissions has plummeted.

Per the article:

"Some {parents, alumni, faculty} blamed the push to make VMI more welcoming to women and cadets of color."

What?!?

Based on this sentiment, I don't blame anyone who would not want to go to VMI. And the gap can't be solely attributed to blacks and women: they only make up 6% and 14%, respectively.

If even white men don't want to go, VMI has a problem.[/quote]

You quote is from an article written by a woke Washington Post writer who has gone on an unabated two year attack on the school.  He has no direct quotes and you are taking him at his word.  The ironic reason for the decline is the negative publicity from this writer and from the attacks from then-governor Northam on his alma mater, which seemed to me to be an effort to deflect his own culpability in the blackface/Klan picture scandal.[/quote]
