Say good-bye to Joe College, writes Richard Vedder, a senior fellow at the Independent Institute and an emeritus economics professor. Young men are vanishing from college campuses.

College enrollment has declined by more than 14 percent in the last 10 years, the National Student Clearinghouse reports. The decline for men was 18 percent, nearly double the decline for female students, writes Vedder. “In the 2020-21 year, for example, the number of women enrolled declined by nearly 203,000, but the male decline was nearly double that, over 400,000.”

He suspects young men don’t feel welcome at colleges where professors and activists “rant about ‘white male privilege’ and diversity bureaucrats favor women over men, Vedder writes.

Why go where you’re considered “toxic” — and take on a load of debt — when there are coding academies and welding schools?
