Declining male enrollment has led many colleges to adopt an unofficial policy: affirmative action for men.

    I disagree on everyone going to college. An educated populace is important, yes, but that should be done in high school. Tradespeople, for example, don’t need higher ed, they need vocational and on-the-job training. I say this as someone whose career field requires a degree for no good reason. We should be teaching more critical thinking at younger ages, and provide higher ed for people who need it (professional colleges like teaching and medicine) or just want it.
