   Not quite the same as what I'm talking about.

   The OP looked at enrollment by race. The later post talked about intent / disinterest.

   My point is that Black men have not lost interest in college as more women enrolled.

   There's a difference between "Black men have become disinterested in college now that more women are there."(interest) And "The financial destruction brought about by the pandemic, combined with increasing police brutality and murder, means that fewer Black men are alive to attend and able to get into and afford college."(access).

     @mekkaokereke Do you have a link to the later post? The closest I could find was this Pew study that only slices by white college-educated voters, and doesn't separate by gender. I would really like to see this broken out by gender, race, and college education as well as by population counts.

     @mekkaokereke Thanks! "The Political Causes of the College Enrollment Crisis" also ignores that the total population of Republicans has grown faster than the total population of Democrats because Trumpism has converted independents and apolitical folks. I posit that many of these skeptical Republicans were formerly apolitical.
