Human biodiversity writer, Lance Welton, has been addressing the issue of the relationship between the decline of the liberal university, and the rise of women in positions of power within it, for some years. He recently returned to his theme, that the rise of women has played a large part in the fall of the universities, discussing a study by social psychologists at the State University of New York “The Value Gap: How Gender, Generation, Personality, and Politics Shape the Values of American University Students,” by Zachary Rausch et al., Journal of Open Inquiry in the Behavioral Sciences, 2023. The paper reported on a “value discrepancy” existing among 574 American university students by examining “the prioritization of five different academic values (academic freedom, advancing knowledge, academic rigor, social justice, and emotional well-being).” They also investigated how “gender, generation, personality, major, and conservatism predict each academic value.” The researchers compared Gen Z subjects to 126 Millennials and some older people. It was found that Gen Z valued social justice goals over values such as truth. And, women were even more woke than men: “Gender demographics on college campuses have been reversed over the past sixty years. … Males dominated college campuses in the 1960s with a ratio of 1.6 male to 1 female undergraduate students, inverting, as of 2003, to become a ratio of 1.3 women to every 1 male undergraduate. … The change in gender demographics within colleges is significant, as gender has been linked to differences in personality traits, value orientation, and conservatism. … For example, men tend to be less liberal than women … men score lower on agreeableness and openness … and men have higher scores on emotional stability.”
