There is a growing market for an institution of higher ed that JUST provides students a simple deep liberal arts education. Where they WRITE & READ a lot (& do math and science) and THINK a lot. AI is absent from the discourse. Those would cultivate the minds capable of creativity & innovation.

Once any space becomes less than 40% male, (straight) men tend to cede it entirely while shouting about how it “went woke”. Fascinating read:
Why aren't we talking about the real reason male college enrollment is dropping?
