For nearly 40 years, women have outnumbered men on U.S. campuses. It is a resilient trend that includes some extreme examples: The undergraduate student body at Mount Saint Mary College in New York was 70 percent female, as of the fall of 2017. The same was true for Northwestern State University, in Louisiana, and Rhode Island College. Meanwhile, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, women have made up three-fifths of the undergraduate population for more than 30 years.
Such statistics have understandably drawn attention to the men who are missing from college campuses, but they might also raise a logical question: Just where are the men?
