href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_oldest_universities_in_continuous_operation\">Europe has been running since 1088AD<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">It took a thousand years of hard work to create a reputation of excellence and honor that is being casually vaporized and bled dry in a fashion frenzy of Wokery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">This year in the US undergraduate enrollments fell by 650,000 in a single year \u2014 and the departure was led by young men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">For the last thirty years people in Ivory towers were treated like Gods and came to believe their own advertising. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Who could blame them? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">No one in the media asked them a single hard question so the illusion of their glorious prophesies remained intact even as their absurd predictions crashed upon the shore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The academics fell over themselves to outscore each other in a pointless Victimhood status game where they earn points by insulting one of their main client groups. No wonder men are leaving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Victor Davis Hanson asks&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailysignal.com\/2022\/12\/26\/are-universities-doomed\/\">Are Universities Doomed?<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The Daily Signal<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Nationwide undergraduate enrollment has dropped by more than 650,000 students in a single year\u2014or over 4% alone from spring 2021 to 2022, and some 14% in the last decade. Yet the U.S. population still increases by about 2 million people a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Men account for about 71% of the current shortfall of students.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Women number almost 60% of all college students\u2014an all-time high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Monotonous professors hector students about \u201ctoxic masculinity,\u201d as \u201cgender\u201d studies proliferate. If the plan was to drive males off campus, universities have succeeded beyond their wildest expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Bureaucrats took over universities and drove out the students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">At Yale University, administrative positions have soared over 150% in the last two decades. But the number of professors increased by just 10%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">In a new low\/high, Stanford recently enrolled 16,937 undergraduate and graduate students, but lists 15,750 administrative staff\u2014in\u00a0<strong>near one-to-one fashion.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">One of the top universities in the world is rejecting 70% of those with perfect SAT scores?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Since 2020, the old proportional-representation admissions quotas have expanded into weird \u201creparatory\u201d admissions. Purported \u201cmarginalized populations\u201d have often been admitted at levels greater than percentages in the general population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Stanford\u2019s published 2025 class profile claims a student body of \u201c23% white.\u201d Fewer than half of the class is male. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Stanford mysteriously does not release the numbers of those successfully admitted without SAT tests\u2014but recently conceded<strong>\u00a0it rejects about 70% of those with perfect SAT scores.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">At some point universities were captured by Big Government as the largest sole source of&nbsp; their income, and thus, inevitably they came to serve Bigger Government instead of serving science, or students, or even employers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Given the bloat, the cost, and the crushing spirit of political correctness, it\u2019s a matter of time before other training programs and private testing services take over their role to connect the best students with the top paying employers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Artwork:<\/strong>&nbsp;The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Universit%C3%A4t_Bologna_Deutsche_Nation.jpg\">University of Bologna<\/a>&nbsp;is the oldest continuously running University in the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It took a thousand years of hard work to create a reputation of excellence and honor that is being casually vaporized and bled dry in a fashion frenzy of Wokery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":121246920,"featured_media":236604,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_crdt_document":"","advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-236597","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"hentry","7":"category-uncategorized","9":"fallback-thumbnail"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-892.png?fit=2000%2C1000&ssl=1","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/paxLW1-Zy5","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236597","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/121246920"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=236597"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236597\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":236605,"href":"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236597\/revisions\/236605"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/236604"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=236597"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=236597"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=236597"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
