@get these nets from the Analytics thread:

We talked about how the highest gap for men and women is strangely in Louisiana and blue collar opportunities in oil and gas may drive this.

Also the article headline says one thing but then goes into how certain classes like sociology or communications have no students. I don't see this as a big issue in context, especially since they unfortunately don't lead to great career prospects.

All the easier to saddle you with mountains of debt, my dear.

Isn’t it proven that black women value education more than men

 

[Dwayne_Taylor]

Its not going to change until men across groups come together and demand equity in education

 

[DrBanneker]

Also...the one other thing I would mention is the technical/engineering HBCUs fortunately have better ratios. NC A&T is 1.56 to 1, Alabama A&M 1.4 etc.

Correct.
No one will make programs for us but us.
No one will mentor us but us.
No one will start pushing & funding campus visits for us but us.

We can keep complaining or we will start doing for our boys. Simple as that. No one else will care.

This article is focused on black male enrollment at HBCU. But lack of boys going to college is a problem across the board for all boys. So I'm not sure why we need to frame this as a "black" problem

 

[Street Knowledge]

Isn’t it like that with college in general though?

Its been like that for the past 10 years when Gen Z males straight up are skipping college altogether. White and Asian males included. Its gotten so bad in many HBCUs and PWIs that some institutions are eliminating SAT requirement scores entirely.

Because these issues affect black men the most.

Yes because of systemic racism. Like all of this stuff is very obvious and out in the open
