The Shortage of Men on College Campus

The USA Today covers the story of how American college life is becoming a "chick fest":

Currently, 135 women receive bachelor's degrees for every 100 men. That gender imbalance will widen in the coming years, according to a new report by the U.S. Department of Education.

This is ominous for every parent with a male child. The decline in college attendance means many will needlessly miss out on success in life. The loss of educated workers also means the country will be less able to compete economically. The social implications — women having a hard time finding equally educated mates — are already beginning to play out.

But the inequity has yet to provoke the kind of response that finally opened opportunities for women a generation ago. In fact, virtually no one is exploring the obvious questions: What has gone wrong? And what happens to all the boys who aren't in college?

We suspect that many guys don't want to be saddled with debt with no real job prospects when they get out.It's just a guess but college tuition has outpaced wages and inflation for several years.We suspect if the trend ever gets to 2 to 1 ratio,that will be resistence.Many women really don't want to go to a women's college.At 2-1,essentially the majority culture will be life without a man.Via Instapundit
