Jessica Smith raised an arm and pointed across the lobby of the university student center like an ornithologist who had just spied a rare breed in the underbrush.
“There’s one,” she said.
It was, in fact, an unusual bird that Smith had spotted, especially on this campus: masculum collegium discipulus. A male college student.

“Why Men Are the New College Minority”
Well, DUHH!...
Ah yes, the most precious of God’s blessings. After salvation, of course.
I drive by the Tufts School of Veterinary Medicine frequently. Women walking through the campus out-number men 5-1.
Of Course. ;0
Especially the football players, apparently.
Irony: Males are of the only minority that is not recognized as a minority on college campuses, unless of course they fit into another minority category such as race or sexual orientation.
Actually it is a really good sign. Men are not as easily deceived and are avoiding the wasteland that is college.
“And on 7% of them are getting STEM degrees.”
which is probably an indicator of one of the reasons male college attendance is dropping: fewer people are seeking STEM degrees, and since the great preponderance of those that were seeking were males, then overall male enrollment is down.
Tthis is absolutely true. I went into a profession 25 years ago that was a little under 50 percent female and it was wonderful. It has slowly morphed to now at least 75 percent female and the profession is ruined and almost unrecognizable from what I started in. My husband and I have a theory that when a profession becomes over 50 percent femal i is ruined- and I’m talking pay, benefits, working conditions, standards, everything. I am saying this as a woman who has witnessed this first hand. It is true!
I also know at least three people who have recently been driven out of their jobs due solely to bitchy/vindictive female supervisors or toxic work environment caused by majority female staffs.
Which is exactly the liberal approach in the military, too. And they are getting the result they are looking for.
Sometimes I’m hugging them up and there’s times when I feel I have to curse them out.”
hugging them up...? WTF...?
Tired of setting one foot on campus, staring at a pretty girl for more than four seconds, then being brought-up on sexual harassment charges
it’s actually worse than that now...you can be run up the flagpole if you don’t stare for at least four seconds at the ugly girls...
The point is not to whine that this is unfair, although it is, it is to show that this sort of inequality is systemic, blatant, and unapologetically held. Nor is there any intention to change it, nor is there even any mechanism through which it may be measured and addressed. The Diversity coordinator would reject any such suggestion with contempt.
Those are the policies, those are their fruits. There isn't much point in publicly wondering about the latter if you haven't the slightest intention of changing the former. This article and a host of others like it have come to one inevitable consensus, however: somehow, men are to blame.
We’re smarter than women and know that a good career is not predicated on a college degree and are out in the world working??
true enough. i almost never see a male veterinarian anymore. and the ladies all specialize in little tiny dogs, cats and rodents. My smallest dog is 70 lbs and can be hard to handle at the vet.
Women don't know *what* they want...and it's men's fault for not providing it!
LOL! How true.
I think Evergreen in Washington State already did.
{GASP} Good heavens. Such a Neanderthal you are!
” drive by the Tufts School of Veterinary Medicine frequently. Women walking through the campus out-number men 5-1.”
Same is true in pharmacy. Completely reversed sex ratios from 50 years ago.
