Boston University professor: White Males a "problem population"

Fewer and fewer men are pursuing liberal arts degrees, or college generally. Things like this make me wonder if there isn't a concerted effort among some in academia to make sure this trend continues.

Outside of STEM and business, guys are definitely in the minority.  Honestly, state legislatures should defund humanities and divert it to STEM if crap like this continues unabated

It's not crap like this that is the reason to defund the humanities.  It's that there is such a glut of humanities majors, there's no reason to subsidize them.  The problem is that the way academia is set up is that at the student level its hard to separate funding. Rather than funding students, it probably would be more effective to fund professors directly in the area where they are desired.  That's sort of indirectly happening now, but a more direct funding would likely get the message across clearer.

Essentially, the argument for affirmative action is that it's okay to discriminate because we did it in the past. And I think most Americans would agree with the opposition stance in that regard. Of course, we don't have a Republican Party that is willing to talk about racial issues or oppose the Democrat rhetoric

No, the argument for affirmative action is that it's cheaper to help a minority that is disproportionately disadvantaged than it would be to provide help to all who are disadvantaged.

What in the name of all that is sacred is this thread?

This thread has nothing to do with sacredness.
