S 3564 -- A Bill to Help Women in College From Sen Tom Udall?

polifrog


Sen. Tom Udall from New Mexico has introduced a bill to "promote the potential of women".

Via govtrack:

A bill to promote the potential of women in academic science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Perhaps Udall is unaware that times have changed since the 70's and that we are now living in a time when men rather than women are suffering from not just low but declining enrollment statitics in college and that we should perhaps Save The Men.

In brushing up on the present Mr. Udall should perhaps google the matter. For instance, this hit:

* Fisk University, a historically black college in Nashville, implemented a recruitment program this year called The Talented Tenth, which invites African-American high school males to the campus for a series of workshops about college. The current freshman class is 72% female.

* Merrimack College in North Andover, Mass., resurrected its football team five years ago when male enrollment began to slip. The school also recruits at all-male high schools.

* Many schools are heavily promoting science and technology programs, as well as ROTC and sports facilities.

And this from the NYT:

...men now make up only 42 percent of the nation's college students.

Sen. Udall, this is no longer 1975; there is a current world that you should consider waking up to.

Finally, there are no cosponsors to this bill. Some should be considered.


Here's one Sen Udall may recall from Jethro Tull, Living in the Past:
