The Decline Of Men In Higher Education

	posted by Scott on Thursday December 07, @03:45PM from the education dept.
	The UK Telegraph posted this story on the decline of male enrollment at universities. From the article: "Only 44 per cent of this year's admissions are men and academics now wonder whether their encouragement and preference for women may have gone too far...The pattern of declining male applications and rising female university attendance was established in the 1970s. During the past decade, however, it has worsened drastically...Government estimates forecast that men will make up only 42 per cent of university students by 2010."

Women Having to Date Down (Score:0) by Anonymous User on Sunday December 17, @12:03AM EST (#1) Given that women will soon outnumber men at undergraduate institutions, I am wondering how those women are going to handle the upcoming shortage of college educated men. They might have to lower their standards and date and marry down! What a time to be a male undergraduate; the romantic market stock value for male undergrads must be going up fast!
