As someone involved in universities - uni's that are blue are actively discriminatory against men. People from the outside can argue as they like, but when you're actually in it you are told that 1. Men are the cause of bad things everywhere. Congress, Jeff bezos, trump, your typical ideas of patriarchy.
2. Men are responsible for and initiate abuse always. The idea of woman abusing men is not even entertained.
3. Criticism of this means you're sexist/bad/undeserving of life. If you look at how people act on Twitter, that's close to it.
These are actual required classes and is how administration enforces policy.
Most people are taking their ideas of how uni politics were 10-20 years ago. But things have changed. Psuedo-woke Twitter is unfortunately real people, and they have jobs in government.
On top of this:
Universities act as their own courts, they can and will eject students for heresay claims. No due process.
Universities are textbook dictatorships. The students cannot vote for whom makes the rules. Yet they are directly affected.
Their costs and spending have risen dramatically over time. They argue this is because of less government aid - it's really because they don't control spending. They will overspend on cafeteria decor and luxurious dorms. Politically motivated programs that students are forced to pay for.
Why on earth would any young man go into that when there's plenty of trade roles hiring? Make good money, start a family, own your own life.

I was a student member of my university's disciplinary board. No due process and no fairness for the accused. I highly recommend anyone who is requested to go to one, to hire a lawyer.

Weren't there well known cases where they refused to allow the accused's lawyer to participate in the process. Seems like the main use of the lawyer might be to (expensively) sue the school in real court, or at least threaten to do so.
- vfulco2 4y agoThank you for this reality check. I hear the same from fair-minded colleagues in academia.
- toomuchtodo 4y ago> start a family, The challenge there is that with more women getting a degree and having higher income, and less willing to date down, having a trades job and income is no guarantee you’ll be able to find a willing partner to start a family with.
