>The real reason of course is that males just are not very smart, except for an extreme minority. They are obsessive and impulsive, so they are literally checking out of elevated society with their porn and video game addictions while women, who have more self-control on average are taking the reigns.
I got meme’d into going to an “Arts” university.
Practically none of the Craft courses teaching how “x” or “y” material was processed actually assigned required books, or even recommended books on the subjects, with a few exceptions, usually for specialty outside work the instructors had little experience with.
The “Ceramics Technology” course, literally offered to the students in the ceramics program, didn’t even recommend any books, despite a book on the subject being published a couple years earlier, by a separate local university press, on the exact subject, and literally written for art and craft students.
The liberal arts courses were less intensive than those I had as a freshman at a high end prep school.
The teachers assigned to teach the subjects were routinely not experienced in the scope of knowledge covered by individual courses.
I literally once mentioned an artist that routinely gets mentioned in association with a period of art, and the response from the professor was, “I am unfamiliar with that artist”.
The professors assigned to give guidance on courses literally had no clue how the college worked, and also what individual courses could be taken and tell you to go ask elsewhere, without instructing where.
The college later failed spectacularly.
An author who occasionally gets discussed on /lit/, taught there, although I never had a course from her.
So if you’re wondering why college enrollment is dropping, maybe it’s because the average male realizes the college educations are expensive shit, routinely taught by bad teachers at poorly run institutions, and the educations cost way too much.
