Record Numbers of Men ‘Give Up’ on College
Inside Higher Ed
The number of men enrolled at two- and four-year colleges has fallen behind women by record levels, The Wall Street Journal reports.
For the 2020-21 academic year, women made up an all-time high of 59.5 percent of college students, while men trailed at 40.5 percent, according to enrollment data from the National Student Clearinghouse, a nonprofit research group. U.S. institutions had 1.5 million fewer students compared to five years ago, and men accounted for 71 percent of that decline. More women also applied to college than men for the 2021-22 year -- 3,805,978 compared to 2,815,810. That’s nearly a percentage point higher than the gap from the previous academic year, according to the Common Application.
The differences in enrollment numbers are part of an education gap that has been widening for 40 years, the Journal reports. If that trend continues, two women will earn a college degree for every man within the next few years, Douglas Shapiro, executive director of the research center at the National Student Clearinghouse, told the Journal.
And the enrollment numbers look different among different races, with poor and working-class white men enrolling at lower rates than young Black, Latino and Asian men from the same economic backgrounds, according to an analysis of census data by the Pell Institute for the Journal.
The report comes when women’s colleges are trying to stand out to prospective students. More than 10 million women enrolled at a college for spring 2021, according to the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center.

They give up schooling for the simple reason that they have professors like you! Ratemyprofessors.com shows that you’re the worst professor at IVC. Of course, there are obviously fake ratings, but yours is consistent with your character as reflected by your toxic blog posts!
I deeply sympathize with the plight of these students, and I am deeply concerned about their future.
6:46 Thank you for sharing, but it’s not easy to cancel the union membership especially if you’re a part-timer. I want to cancel mine but I’m afraid of being retaliated against as these union leaders work with the district behind the scene. As someone mentioned, it’s a quid pro quo.
One comment on this video that clearly resonates with someone’s post on the other blog…

“So the ‘science’ they were following was the teacher’s union and not really scientists. The union represents science teachers so that must have been close enough for the CDC. I worked in public education for 25 years and am proud that I never joined nor sent a single penny to any union. My first year as a teacher I saw the union aggressively defend teachers who committed egregious offenses and I saw them that education was not anything they actually cared anything about.”
*I noticed that comments are not usually visible on smartphones but can be viewed on your desktop.
This is so TRUE!
What "plight" have you seen? What specific examples can you provide?
Why do you not offer positive suggestions on improving how faculty work, are trained, evaluated?

The first commentator will be hard pressed to find better teachers than those who are employed at IVC and Saddleback.
7:32, based on whose standard? Roy’s?? 😂 LMAO
Not Roy's but the visiting Accreditation Commissions that approve or deny a college right to exist: these are public documents. Read their independent reports identifying strengths and weaknesses. I've served as co-chair of two and the faculty and staff are given high marks.
Not in the next accreditation… just wait
So now you are someone who can see into the future. Hum.
Roy is responding anonymously to his own posts ! Lmao !
Really? So perceptive and so wrong. Roy teaches ethics and Roy is ethical.
Please don't feed the trolls.
Ok, Sir Roy.
Keep your toxic blogs coming !!
The mandate is on the board agenda for next week.
Let us have it approved: too many lives are at stake. All these attacks on science, medicine, and education are weakening the democracy this country has benefited from for hundreds of years. Now is the time to support those 3 and the democracy that allows them to thrive.
11:27, attorneys are waiting for you.. good luck
4:37, what democracy are you talking about, dodo? Violating everyone's rights?
Your district shoud mandate drug and alcohol tests for faculty--not vaccine mandate! That's what IVC needs... and I'll tell you why.
