Colleges are desperate to bring into closer equality the numbers of males and females who enroll.

No offense, but, really? For 40 years, colleges have diligently pushed white males out of higher education. You say the ratio is something like 40/60 men to women. How many of that diminishing set of males are even white?

If what you proffer is true, then in 5 years the ratio should be closer to 42/58. Since I see no change in admission selection from our communist bastions of higher learning, I will herein wager you a nickel that the ratio will be closer to 38/62 than 42/58, provided that the ratio of white men to victim class men remains unchanged.

As a passing thought, I've kept that nickel for quite a long time..

As a society, we have a real problem with young males, both black and white. These problems are not the making of our colleges, but reflect the deterioration of socializing institutions like the family, the military, and the Boy Scouts, but especially the diminished role of fathers and other male role models in the lives of these young boys.

At every level of schooling, girls are now out-performing boys in the classroom despite having no advantage in ability or aptitude. This performance gap ultimately carries over to the college application process, where girls’ high-school GPAs are, on average, higher than boys’ (even though the very top applicants at most colleges are still disproportionately boys). We also have experienced dramatic changes in the sex ratio in numerous well-paying professions such as pharmacy and vet medicine. Do you believe there is some conspiracy against males in those professions, as well?
