in a monday column for the far-right website world net daily, the longtime anti-feminist crusader lamented the declining portion of university enrollments accounted for by men. schlafly <u+2014> ba and jd, washington university in st. louis; ma, radcliffe college <u+2014> argued that it may even be time to implement quotas to ensure that men constitute at least half of a college<u+2019>s enrollment.









<u+201c>long ago when i went to college, campuses were about 70 percent male, and until 1970 it was still nearly 60 percent,<u+201d> schlafly wrote. <u+201c>today, however, the male percentage has fallen to the low 40s on most campuses.<u+201d>









never one to shirk victim-blaming, schlafly proceeded to link the problem of campus sexual assault to the increased enrollment of women in postsecondary institutions.









<u+201c>boys are more likely than girls to look at the cost-benefit tradeoff of going to college,<u+201d> schlafly asserted. <u+201c>the imbalance of far more women than men at colleges has been a factor in the various sex scandals that have made news in the last couple of years.<u+201d>









with so many women around, what do you expect a college man to do <u+2014> seek consent!? <u+201c>so, what<u+2019>s the solution?<u+201d> schlafly asked. <u+201c>one solution might be to impose the duty on admissions officers to arbitrarily admit only half women and half men.<u+201d> <u+201c>another solution might be to stop granting college loans,<u+201d> she suggested, <u+201c>thereby forcing students to take jobs to pay for their tuition and eliminate time for parties, perhaps even wiping out time for fraternities and sororities. i went through college while working a full-time manual-labor job, and i don<u+2019>t regret a minute of it; it was a great learning experience.<u+201d> while minimum wage jobs once sufficed to pay one<u+2019>s way through college, skyrocketing tuition has created a harsher reality for college students. absent financial aid and family assistance, the typical college student would now need to work 48 hours a week at a minimum wage job in order to pay for her courses <u+2014> and that<u+2019>s before accounting for the ever-increasing cost of room and board.
