That's interesting. Well, universities are a market. Let's see what kind of people want to pay for that university's offer. Gender/Diversity appears to be on the way out for a while.

Having fewer books to read means they can go back to their other pasttimes, such as overdosing on meth and getting shitty tattoos.
