Number of Boys and White Students at University Falling as Girls and Minorities Surge Ahead
[Breitbart London] New Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) statistics show the number of white people at British universities is in decline, with minorities surging ahead.
The figures show there were 1,507,815 white students enrolled at all levels in 2012/13, but this fell to 1,459,735 in 2013/14 and 1,418,685 in 2014/15.

Numbers declined slightly again in 2015/16 to 1,417,300, before ticking up slightly in 2016/17 to 1,425,665 ‐ for an overall decline of around 5.5 per cent over a five-year period.

Meanwhile, the number of black, Asian, and other (including mixed race) students are up significantly across the board ‐ despite left-liberal politicians such as Labour's David Lammy continuing to push the narrative that minorities are disadvantaged due to institutional prejudice.

'Real Engineer' in the comment section writes about the transition of scholarships in the United States:
RealEngineer2 • a day ago
In the USA, to get my engineering undergrad and science post grad on scholarship (back when, now valued over $200,000), I had to score top percentile GRE, attain national sales leadership among peers during (private sector) internship (in NYC Financial District, arguably the toughest in the world), earn an undergrad 3.8 GPA or better, take math-intensive electives, and score top percentile in a competitive scholarship exam. Furthermore, if my grad GPA ever fell below 3.8, or if I didn't meet quota during internship… THE SCHOLARSHIP WAS FORFEITED.

Fast-Forward to 2018, THAT SAME SCHOLARSHIP I got is now awarded to any "special snowflake" who can convey a "Tale of Woe" associated in any way with "diversity" (heavily favoring foreigners and females regardless of GPA), all math requirements have been "suspended", GRE scores merely have to be "submitted", recipients now get a "bonus" semester overseas in the country of their choice- instead of proving earning potential in an internship, and are handed options for a "set aside" appointment to a federal career… 2 ended up at NASA. (After scoring PERFECT 100's on federal exams, I was turned down for federal employment, and went to the private sector)…

For every academic "social inconvenience", there's a White male to take down publicly.
The 'entitlement sector' tends to vote democratic. What are your questions.

#1 GRE scores merely have to be "submitted", recipients now get a "bonus" semester overseas in the country of their choice- instead of proving earning potential in an internship, and are handed options for a "set aside" appointment to a federal career......

One student ended up going to Pakistan and eventually became president of the United States. His GRE scores and college transcripts are no longer available.
