They aren't scared.  They're smart.  Look at the stats about the number of men actually making it through to graduation.  Colleges are petrified because of it, but can't say anything.  So they're trying to find "retention programs" that don't actually come out and say "men!  Please don't go!" because it will enrage the feminist authorities.  You might not think that's much of a problem . . . but colleges do.  More than 70% of large institutional gifts are made by male alums.  With these current demographics, colleges are going to have to scramble to make up for the expected decline in institutional giving as a result.

Hey!  Avoiding calls from the college alumni association/sports booster clubs/institutional giving office!  Yet ANOTHER great reason to skip college and learn a trade.
