pineda Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 UMass protests Andrew Card's honorary degree.After seeing the coverage about this, I'm wondering if anyone knows of any website out there in cyberland that lists the political leanings of different universities, not just in Texas, but nationwide.a related website: Intellectual Take-out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retama Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I would say that about the only "right-wing" university I know of is Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Michigan. It refuses to accept federal or state funding and is one of only a small number of colleges to do so.As a former college instructor, I can tell you that the faculty of most colleges and universities are far to the left.

TJones Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Ole Miss is pretty right-wing, if I had to say of one I know of. Southern Miss, is very liberal on the other hand, and Miss. State would be right in the middle. LSU, conservative. Florida State, conservative. Univ. of Miami, liberal. UT moderate, aTm, conservative. U of H liberal. Rice, liberal. Most of these are JMO, but a couple I know I am dead on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricco67 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 You also forgot about conservative East Texas Baptist University. I think they just allowed dancing within the past decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retama Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I guess you have never heard of the far right wing, Evangelical, Fundamentalist Christian universities..* Bob Jones University (South Carolina)* Liberty University (Virginia)* Oral Roberts University (Oklahoma)I did think about those, though I wouldn't call them "far right." I'm a Right-winger m'self and those places don't fit the bill, evangelical, yes. BYU would be conservative as well as Notre Dame, but certanly not Pepperdine.I see Arkansas Baptist and Ouachita Baptist on your list, KinkaidAlum, would you put Henderson State there as well?

KinkaidAlum Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Don't let the Malibu beach location fool you. Pepperdine is conservative. It is closely affiliated with the Church of Christ. It's a dry campus and any university group caught with alcohol on or OFF campus faces expulsion. Dorms are all single sex and they have curfews. Until recently, dancing was still officially banned on campus!In the Princeton Review, Pepperdine ranks #13 in the "Alternative Lifestyles ARE NOT an alternative" category. A straight guy who tried to start an "end homophobia" group on campus in 2006 was denied that right by the President of the University!The Fiske Guide calls it "one of the nation's largest conservative colleges."Additionally, the law school gained some attention when they tried to lure Kenneth Starr to become the Dean and head the new Public Policy Institute. He "resigned" before he ever began due to the ties the school had with Scaife (donated $13 million to Pepperdine including the seed money to start the new school) as well as to Scaife's ties to the Clinton scandals.The Law School's own mission statement states the "mission is to incorporate the values of Jesus Christ into the law."Douglas Kmiec is one of the most famous profs at the law school. He is one of the most conservative lawyers in the nation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrfootball Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I'm an alum of both UT-Austin '95 and Texas Tech '97UT was very liberalTexas Tech was center-right.In my experience, UT professors liked to push their ideology down your throat. Tech profs tended to take a more libertarian bent, giving you both sides of the story for you to make up your own mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, unlike that heard of independent minds on the Left who all seem to look, sound and act just alike. That's interesting about Pepperdine because several people I know who went there and taught there were pretty well out on a their own branch. They also told me there were some pretty odd scenes, but this has been many moons ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
