College 101: More women than men enrolled - some look to even the score

Story here. Excerpt:

'"The enrollment gap is undeniable," said Sanford Shugart, president of Valencia Community College, "but our belief is that raising the achievements of all students will help close that gap."

Shugart and other administrators say they have no plans to launch recruitment drives to increase male enrollment, nor do they envision reaching a point where they would.
...
At least one of those schools is trying to get a few more good men.

St. Petersburg College opened The Male Outreach Center last year -- modeled in part after a nearly 30-year-old on-campus drop-in program for women -- to recruit and retain male students, especially blacks and Hispanics, who statistically tend to struggle more than others in college.

Some think more schools should open similar programs because of the rising need among men for career training. Changes in the economy are eliminating well-paid blue-collar jobs that once allowed men to earn a living wage without a college degree.'

The article basically says no one really cares. One college opened a 'resource center' for men because so many now don't have access to outsourced or eliminated blue-collar jobs.

So what will men who "drop in" be shown is a good choice for them in terms of education? Trade school?

This article only confirms what we already know. The 70/30% female/male ratio in undergrad programs is exactly what the powers that be want (actually they would probably prefer a 100/0% ratio).

It seems the only people who care about college boys (or high school boys for that matter) are the female teachers who are stat-raping them. And even then, it's only because of what they are getting from them.

During the beginning of her campaign she held a rally in New Hampshire. She stated with pride "Women now make up the majority of university students!"

Not only could we have a president who doesn't care about boys education but actually thinks the gap is a cause for celebration.

Speaking of "Gaps". The 'so-called' wage gap isn't celebrated. Hillary is planning the Equal Pay Act.

The difference is, the college gap is REAL while the wage gap has been proven time and time again to be nothing more than feminist bullshit.

...what would feminists do if they could not fight to solve problems that do not exist? I mean, it's the very core of the feminists being to fight tooth and nail to fix some imaginary problem that she dreamed up for her own gain. They'd be extinct without the ability to fight for their fictions.
