The oldest university in Europe has been running since 1088AD.
It took a thousand years of hard work to create a reputation of excellence and honor that is being casually vaporized and bled dry in a fashion frenzy of Wokery.
This year in the US undergraduate enrollments fell by 650,000 in a single year — and the departure was led by young men.
For the last thirty years people in Ivory towers were treated like Gods and came to believe their own advertising. Who could blame them? No one in the media asked them a single hard question so the illusion of their glorious prophesies remained intact even as their absurd predictions crashed upon the shore.
The academics fell over themselves to outscore each other in a pointless Victimhood status game where they earn points by insulting one of their main client groups. No wonder men are leaving.
Victor Davis Hanson asks Are Universities Doomed?
The Daily Signal
Nationwide undergraduate enrollment has dropped by more than 650,000 students in a single year—or over 4% alone from spring 2021 to 2022, and some 14% in the last decade. Yet the U.S. population still increases by about 2 million people a year.
Men account for about 71% of the current shortfall of students. Women number almost 60% of all college students—an all-time high.
Monotonous professors hector students about “toxic masculinity,” as “gender” studies proliferate. If the plan was to drive males off campus, universities have succeeded beyond their wildest expectations.
Bureaucrats took over universities and drove out the students.
At Yale University, administrative positions have soared over 150% in the last two decades. But the number of professors increased by just 10%. In a new low/high, Stanford recently enrolled 16,937 undergraduate and graduate students, but lists 15,750 administrative staff—in near one-to-one fashion.
One of the top universities in the world is rejecting 70% of those with perfect SAT scores?
Since 2020, the old proportional-representation admissions quotas have expanded into weird “reparatory” admissions. Purported “marginalized populations” have often been admitted at levels greater than percentages in the general population.
Stanford’s published 2025 class profile claims a student body of “23% white.” Fewer than half of the class is male. Stanford mysteriously does not release the numbers of those successfully admitted without SAT tests—but recently conceded it rejects about 70% of those with perfect SAT scores.
At some point universities were captured by Big Government as the largest sole source of their income, and thus, inevitably they came to serve Bigger Government instead of serving science, or students, or even employers.
Given the bloat, the cost, and the crushing spirit of political correctness, it’s a matter of time before other training programs and private testing services take over their role to connect the best students with the top paying employers.

Also interesting is the fact that if women make are 60% of uni enrolements, but hypergamy demands that they marry a man who has the same education or better. What proportion of female graduates will not find their partner? (Mr Morrison will get this right!) After working to pay off student loans and have their career before “settling down” what will their ova reserve look like? I understand that even men doing stem subjects have to waste time and money on compulsory woke units. With Computer Aided Instruction, there should be LESS staff, not more!
381
You need more assistants for the ‘special needs’ students.
240
How many of these 60% young women students, have at the back of their mind.’One day they will need to suport a spouse and children’.
Fact is the bulk of young men still have this thought at the back of their mind. Which is why they’re skipping Uni for a career path that gives them that option.
220
Jordan Peterson predicted that women would stop going to universities when the sex ratio reached 2 women/1 man in a recent talk.
90
At that ratio – I’ll go back. 😂

Interesting comment from a Black guy who used to comment on blogs: said that in his experience, Black women would not marry or seriously date a guy who had less educations than she did, even if her degree was in some squishy subject and *even if that guy was a skilled tradesman making more money than most college graduates*.
He also said: “Watch out, white guys! If this hasn’t happened yet in your world, it will”.

Amazing! I was at the local U. today visiting with two important folks and got the same message. Total enrollment down and impacting the entire place. Some sub-segments more down than others. More down of males than females. At some point I’ll see some numbers, but that was a side-issue today.
310
There is a gender imbalance worldwide, more females are enrolling and presumably graduating. What is the name of the local uni?
40
By “worldwide” you mean N AMerica, W Europe and A/NZ. For example, Afghanistan doesn’t meet the gender imbalance ratio described in this article, does it?
70
Of course, in the western world.
30
An unexpected side effect of dropping SAT scores?
00
There seems to be an effort on the part of university bureaucrats to divest of white males regardless of ATAR rank. This is observable and true. Attempts at increased enrolements at the expense of academic excellence have led to a “dumbing down” of the tertiary education system whereby degrees are dispensed with alacrity. There is a lack of intellectual community now, and as such most students are churned out with a cursory understanding of their course material.
360
Academia like healthcare in the US has a customer that drives policy, the US Federal government. And if you look at the two sectors of the economy with an inflation rate that exceeds the DPI year after year, its education and healthcare. People in the private sector try to minimize overhead costs from administrative functions as it often adds little value to the customer. It’s hard to convince anyone in the government of the virtue of cutting overhead so the rest of us pay through the nose for it.
300
Actually, it is WHO runs the US (or any and all western) government that rules the USA (west), and it might seem to be the “elected” representatives, but it is that group who control them that pulls their strings. Western government is now just a tool for the elite to inflict their Malthusian fantasies upon the plebs as they all yearn for the “good ol’ days” of serfdom and the droit du seigneur.
30
Very good! We might see America go ahead again instead of its permanent decline into ‘social justice’ and wokeness.
Universities have added nothing to the society as a whole, once teh Govts decided everyone must have a tertiary education for us to be a ‘smart’ society they instantly debased that education completely.
Education comes from the work you do, and if you need fast-tracking to learn more, your employer will pay for the increased asset value of yourself. We have become a world where everyone expects a free education and hence gets a lifetime of free propaganda instead.

I just wish that the average bloke or woman had a basic understanding of our electricity grid and why we need more reliable BASE-LOAD energy to supply our future energy requirements.

I saw a meme the other day how, while children in China or India are learning advanced subjects in school such as calculus, physics or chemistry, American children (and this would apply to other children in Western countries as well) are learning subjects such as how horrible Western Civilisation is, how concepts such as the traditional family unit are supposedly obsolete, the multitude of supposed genders and orientations, how free enterprise is “exploitative”, the promotion of extensive anti-white racism, continued attack on Western Judeo-Christian ethical and moral principles, lack of respect for law, even bizarre concepts like “mathematics is racist” (e.g. https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/12/08/racism-our-curriculums-isnt-limited-history-its-math-too/) and the list goes on.
It gets even worse by the time these sadly indoctrinated children get to the corrupted universities where freedom of thought and ideas is no longer considered a relevant or valid concept.
This is all quite a deliberate strategy of dumbing down the whole of society, initiated in the 1960’s when the Left started infiltrating the education system (and everything else) under Rudi Dutschke’s plan of “the long march through the institutions).
Now that the Left are in control, in all Western countries, there is no limit to the evils they will commit. They have already started erasing individuals from history, e.g. destruction of statues, not studying their works in a positive way, or at all. Yesterday I mentioned how they are even trying to erase Don Bradman, Australian sporting legend, simoly because he wrote a letter to the Prime Minister in 1976 advocating for free enterprise and warning about the power of unions.
We are all set to see a repeat of Leftist evil just as we saw with the National Socialists and International Socialists. And even then, few people know of those evils today because of the lack of teaching of objective history.
I think rational thinking people should home school their children and then send them to university in an English speaking but not yet woke country like Singapore, maybe India.
Modern schools are little more than centres of Leftoid indoctrination of children and are really a form of child abuse.
It’s very sad. It took 3,000-4,000 years to build Western Civilisation and scholarship, and the Left are destroying it in mere decades.

Dr Judith Curry is a very smart and determined woman and here’s her recent article for Sky News about our energy needs and the panic behind their stupid push for UNRELIABLEs.

On those rare occasions when you do get a genuine intellectual these days, like for example Jordan Peterson, Ian Plimer or Peter Ridd (and there are many others, not an exclusive list, plus many intellectuals unpersoned or sacked/fired over their evidence-based views on covid) look at how they are treated for daring to question the narrative.
This also related to the utter corruption of science as it is now taught in “universities” and “schools” and general public discourse.
The Left have promoted the false ideas, and especially in relation to the anthropogenic global warming fraud and the deadly mismanagement of covid that:
1) Scientific fact is decided by “consensus”. FALSE
2) There is such a thing as “settled science”. FALSE
3) Dissenting opinions must be repressed. FALSE
“Trust the science”, a favourite expression of the anti-science Left, is one of the most unscientific statements one can make.
Questioning scientific results, hypotheses and theorems is exactly how you do science.
381
That the polar vortex is caused by global warming is not just described as science but The Science that needs to be taught to everyone, despite that it falls over once you go past the hand waving postulate and into the scientific method.

“I just wish that the average bloke or woman had a basic understanding of our electricity grid”
It will come soon enough when they are unable to charge their phones (or cars).
230
No it won’t.
That will all be blamed on “unreliable” fossil fuel generators. You know – those 50 year old plants that keep pumping out electrons at 90% capacity 24/7, 365 days every year.
Some people believe the media, politicians and activists. Some people can’t be bothered to find out who’s telling porkies. AND some people just don’t care.
This will not end well.
302
They’ll understand the result – understanding the grid I doubt.
It seems to me that one should not just accept the view of the first person to highlight what might be a problem.
And when a problem is defined one should be wary of proposed solutions – particularly the first proclaimed as “THE ANSWER”.
Which is likely to be grabbed in that situation

The Australian government has crunched the numbers and female students are well represented.

Excerpts from President Eisenhower’s farewell address, January 17th, 1961:
151
Back in Eisenhower’s, secondary and tertiary education was focussed on real issues, and produced real results. The Manhattan Project; the development of such aircraft as the U-2 and SR-71, which was achieved using slide rules; the space program, moon landings and the Hubble telescope would likely not have occurred had the educators of the day been of the current woke variety.
150
Yes, back in the day, people had a deep understanding about how things worked. They could build an atomic bomb, high altitude aircraft, mach 3+ aircraft or moon rocket with no or little computing.
A modern engineer would be lost without software written by someone else that does the calculations for them. Today they would be lost without finite element analysis or computational fluid dynamics. Back in the day, necessary calculations were done intuitively or manually.
In contrast, I met a recently graduated mechanical engineer a few years ago who had never heard of a Car not cycle heat engine.
And look at Australia’s very own Bureau of Meterology. They can’t even do a decent weather prediction because they use non-validated models that make predictions for them and their predictions aren’t as good as a knowledgeable person looking out the window.
151
On the subject of the SR-71, this video explains how the J58 engine it uses works. All designed with deep knowledge and little to no computing.
I would challenge any product of a modern “university” to design something like this today.
This is the genius that can be achieved when people have a clue.
https://youtu.be/F3ao5SCedIk

The Manhattan Project was not under his watch. It was others. Eisenhower was fighting the Germans in Europe. And a Great Job he did with the Allies.

Why don’t Universities challenge us to THINK and try to understand very simple sums?
A year ago Willis Eschenbach tried to enlighten us to the problems of their NUT ZERO lunacy.
BTW Professor Pielke jnr also found similar problems.
Here’s Willis’ summary.
“To summarize: to get the world to zero emissions by 2050, our options are to build, commission, and bring on-line either:
• One 2.1 gigawatt (GW, 109 watts) nuclear power plant each and every day until 2050, OR
• 4000 two-megawatt (MW, 106 watts) wind turbines each and every day until 2050 plus a 2.1 GW nuclear power plant each and every day until 2050, assuming there’s not one turbine failure for any reason, OR
• 100 square miles (250 square kilometres) of solar panels each and every day until 2050 plus a 2.1 GW nuclear power plant each and every day until 2050, assuming not one of the panels fails or is destroyed by hail or wind.
I sincerely hope that everyone can see that any of those alternatives are not just impossible. They are pie-in-the-sky, flying unicorns, bull-goose looney impossible. Not possible physically. Not possible financially. Not possible politically.
Finally, the US consumes about one-sixth of the total global fossil energy. So for the US to get to zero fossil fuel by 2050, just divide all the above figures by six … and they are still flying unicorns, bull-goose looney impossible”.
Math. Don’t leave home without it”.
250
Sorry, here’s the link to Willis Eschenbach’s impossibility of net zero by 2050 article.
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2021/01/27/bright-green-impossibilities/
80
An important part of the dumbing-down of the entire population was the cessation of the teaching of critical thinking skills in schools in the 1960’s, as soon as the Left sufficiently infiltrated the education system.
141
I agree David and I’m afraid this will take decades to turn around and unfortunately we haven’t got the time.
BTW here’s Dr Pielke jnr’s article about their so called net zero by 2050.

University Challenge does require, most of the time, one word, maybe two word answers, and very little understanding, as do most quizzes.
Was that the start of the rot?
10
Maybe you’re all just reading a little too much into it. College education in the USA has become enormously expensive unless the student has a scholarship. It used to be that surgeons didn’t pay off their college loans until their mid-30’s. That has now expanded to a regular degree. With a shortage of plumbers, electricians, tradies and a lot of people realizing that a good life can be had investing in the stock market, property and technology, who can blame the younger generations for grabbing opportunity in areas outside of a left wing mindset?
120
Hardly surprising if the ratio of (salaried) staff to (paying) students is close to 1-1
10
In addition there is discrimination against certain races at the 8 Ivy League Colleges and it is NOT what you read. You read that Asians are discriminated against given standard test scores. That is absolutely true. What you don’t read is that whites are hugely discriminated against. But not all whites. Jews used be our Asians. They are not any more. Their elite status disappeared long ago. So today Jews are way over represented at Harvard etc., given their now good but not excellent test scores and White Christians are hugely discriminated against. You can read about it here below. Oh, and it is written by a Jew so he has no axe to grind whatsoever. In fact he is appalled by what is going on. Whatever you do if you are a white Christian do not sound like you voted for Donald Trump.
https://www.unz.com/runz/the-myth-of-american-meritocracy/
In 1965 my elite prep school – St George’s – an Episcopal denomination school in Newport Rhode Island sent 16% of its XI Form grads to Harvard. Think about that. It was an all male school then. Today that school is co-ed and as far as I can tell sends no one to Harvard.
Later in 1978 after 4 years in the US Military and a lot of self education I gained admittance to a Harvard Grad School and earned a Masters degree. I knew what and what not to say and what should and what should not appear on my application. I am an Ayn Rand fan and a Christian, but I knew however that I had to make it sound that my life experiences had made me a Bernie Sanders. I laughed when I got my acceptance letter and killed a large bottle of wine.
I give Harvard no money despite quarterly appeals as they have a $40 billion plus endowment. They don’t need my money – they need a piece of my mind.
300
These two statements are incompatible:
Nationwide undergraduate enrollment has dropped by more than 650,000 students in a single year—or over 4% alone from spring 2021 to 2022, and some 14% in the last decade.
and
it rejects about 70% of those with perfect SAT scores.
81
It makes sense because the top elite schools aren’t losing students – they still fill every opening – but many lower-tier schools are in trouble.
60
Incomplete, not incompatible. Comparing national enrollments with Stanford’s rejection rate for applications wuth perfect SAT scores is a bit like comparing global average temperature with yesterday’s maximum in Brisbane. Neither says anything about the other.
100
It makes sense if you want to keep a racial balance in the total student body..
If you want 60% black students and you don’t have enough applicants, you reject enough white/Asians to reduce their numbers to 40%.
50
Question orthodoxy at your peril. At best you will be confined until you recant, at worst, you will be burned at the stake for heresy. Have we really fell that far back into the dark ages? It is almost like the robber barons and evil Bishops of Europe never left us. Will we too have that Reformation moment? Who will be the one to nail their thesis to the door of the UN building in New York demanding the end of this false religion created by bureaucracy? I am singularly amazed how much of history is repeating itself.
131
So Judith Curry says we need to reduce C02 emissions over this century.
Can someone here please explain to me WHY?
Could it be because she wants (or needs) a foot in both camps?

Around the traps Judith is recognised as a lukewarmer and she has supporters.

The real (mistaken) goal is to reduce atmospheric CO2 concentrations (not reduce man made emissions: that is supposed to be the treatment).
Therefore, it is that, Total Atmospheric CO2 Concentrations, that need to be monitored.
And how well is that going?

The smart men do not need University. Nor the women. Did Newton or Einstein go to University? I went to University, however, I learned a lot, lot more afterwards.
140
Einstein attended a polytechnic where students studied scientific and technical subjects, but he was a terrible student. He would stay in digs while his room mate went to lectures and brought home the notes.
Albert wasn’t wasting his time alone, he was on the road to discover the meaning of just about everything.

Einstein’s PhD thesis was only 24 pages long.

“Logic will get you from A to B, imagination takes you everywhere”
20
The trouble is that Arts and Humanities graduates (in positions of Responsibility and Influence over Technical Policies) have an over active imagination.

Newton attended the King’s School in Grantham before enrolling at the University of Cambridge’s Trinity College in 1661. It is generally recognised that Einstein was influenced by Newtonian thought.
120
Once you accept your own victimhood you allow society to label you a loser, especially by those who facilitated your victimhood. How can you create a loser and not be in contempt of your creation?
70
I wholeheartedly agree with the thrust of this but that stat that Stanford rejects 70% of people with top scores is meaningless until you know what proportion of such people are applicants and whether persons with lower scores are preferred if they are in ‘oppressed’ groups.

There is hope.
‘Students will be taught more rigorous mathematics, learn how to analyse scientific data and study climate change in greater depth under a proposed overhaul of the high school science syllabus.

The university experience for my 3 sons ( youngest graduated 2021) had no comparison to my uni days in the 1980’s. Everything these days is on-line and so there is virtually nil on-campus experience. With COVID this all became exacerbated. My youngest didn’t have a “university experience” at all. It’ just like doing a correspondence course, except with HECS fees. There is a crunch coming very soon to both universities and TAFES, because there is declining enrolments, yet same numbers of staff and empty buildings. In Victoria, the state government literally give away TAFE courses and still cant attract students. My niece is studying a course at Deakin Uni ( Geelong ). For the whole of last year she actually attended only 6 times at campus and one of those visits was to actually enrol and get information. She spends most of her time working part time in retail sales.

As the father of two university graduates, and having therefore had to engage with their ‘Uni friends” on occasions, I can say without the slightest exaggeration that as the “woke index” rises, (as it inevitably does among millennials), so does the “stupid index”.
They are so full of themselves and their woke narratives that they have no head space for critical thinking or analysis. They just chant the mantra and endlessly search for a way to become a member of the latest “victim group”. One of my kids has finally managed to achieve just that on the flimsiest of pretexts.
They continually claim to be hard done by, but have never faced actual hardship or experienced trauma, – a situation which leaves them totally unprepared for the seriously hard times that are just around the corner.
170
Totally agree Rick. There was a time ( geez I sound old!!) when even the building industry had slumps. Those entering the building industry in the last 20 years have never experienced any of those conditions. It was when housing approvals plummeted, numerous individual builders and building companies went broke. But it was also needed to create the most efficient industry. During the last recession, and during COVID, the government bailed the population out. But that required incredible borrowings. However, it seems nearly all western countries have employed the same borrowing tactic, so I’m not sure about those “hard times”.

Germany is heading for deindustrialization, because its cheap Russian gas supply is being terminated, and it is owed over €1Trillion by the rest of the EU’s Eurozone because of the TARGET2 mechanism. Yet it has been German Industry that has kept the EU afloat, in the recent past.
The forecast is that the EU will scrape though this Winter, but without that cheap gas they won’t be able to top up the reserves ready for the following Winter: the 2023 Winter will be a sorry tale, for the whole of the EU.
And the dysfunctional UK government (along with the Scottish, Welsh and London political ‘experts’) will probably follow.
After all, they know what’s best for us. It their knowledge of Science that clinches the matter: Political Science, that is!
