Story here. Excerpt:

'For the first time in nearly 170 years, Midway University will start accepting men as full-time undergraduates, the Board of Trustees has decided in a step aimed at keeping the small Woodford County school open.

Men can apply as full-time undergraduates starting this fall; they can apply to live in residence halls starting in spring 2017. Men are currently accepted into online and graduate programs.

“Today is yet another historic moment in the life of an institution that has always transformed itself to remain relevant,” President John Marsden said in a news release Monday. “Our founding mission was to provide young women with access to education at a time when education was mainly available to men. We have fulfilled that mission for 169 years and this decision will ensure that we continue to do so.”'

Any man attending a women's college (in this case as a thoroughly 2nd-class citizen) that just went co-ed in this current misandrist collegiate climate would be NUTS. The only women still attending women's colleges in today's world very much want to be in a women-only college. Men going to this college are in the cross-hairs. Why a guy would want to go to such a place can only be chalked up to naivete.

In fact why a man would go to most any coed college today is beyond me. If a guy does want to blow 10s of 1,000s of dollars on a college degree of questionable market value (as so many are), at least he should go somewhere where he isn't under constant threat of false accusations and arbitrary dispensaton. What few men's colleges are left should be the primary focus of young men's college search plans.
