With the undoing of DEI, it turns out less white men have been admitted into colleges and universities. Why do you think this is?

It’s something of note. Both Forbes and the American Bar Association have studied college and university admissions as they have moved away from Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion practices, they’ve taken in less white men than they were before. The studies suggest this had to do with the fact that with DEI practices schools were often taking into account if someone was a religious minority, if they were from a rural background (which a majority of rural populations in the US are white), if they were disabled, LGBT+, etc. and now that schools have moved away from that and looking at potential student applicants holistically, they’re finding that white men often underperform compared to their female or non-white peers. They’re less likely to graduate high school, less likely to perform well on certain standardized tests, and so less schools are allowing their entry into their academic halls. What do you think about this, if anything?
