Refreshingly, they make a point to NOT ask students about their ethnicity, race, etc. They don’t keep statistics on those things at all.

Why is that refreshing?

Why would I need to know what percentage of the student body is what race? Who cares? Why do you care?

The vast majority of people care. It's useful information about campus culture. Most people want to work and learn in diverse environments because workplaces and the world are diverse places. Diversity improved education and workplace experiences and provides more perspectives on issues. You make it sound like Hillsdale is the Borg or something. That sounds boring and uninteresting.

Their antagonistic relationship to this mainstream way of thinking is another clue that it's a fringe school that likely radicalizes students. No thanks.

Also, it puts out bullshit like this: https://k12.hillsdale.edu/k12/media/Documents/The-Hillsdale-1776-Curriculum.pdf?ext=.pdf

So Hillsdale has just under 1,600 students. That means each class has, what, 400 in the cohort.

It has a 21% acceptance rate. So, that's what, a total of around 2,000 applicants? Well, with a 62% yield rate (suggesting the self-selecting population), maybe call it more like 3,000?

Hillsdale recently boasted about a 53% increase in applications in the last DECADE. There are schools getting those sorts of numbers YoY.

Few people are clamoring to get into Hillsdale. It appeals to people desperate to remain in a right-wing bubble. That's all.

It's allegedly such an irrelevant college that you are reading and spamming this thread and googling random facts about it during a work day? lol

Why don't you live in Southeast D.C.? Because you're a phony.

+1. Diversity is an astroturfed construct created from thin air and shoved down our throats to sow division and rationalize exclusion.

Amen! Why can't we go back to the good old days, when people were people, and Coloreds were Coloreds. People used to be able to say whatever they wanted, and now everyone gets mad about it!

Not being able to answer that basic question is not "refreshing." Or particularly good marketing.

But the answer is it's not particularly diverse since it's evangelical Lutheran.

Wut?

Baptist origin, think Free Will, and now non-denominational. Interesting how the school has evolved given its provenance.

Is this a Hillsdale TP? Or gleaned from the new FL K-12 curriculum where teachers are directed to ignore Jim Crow and its exclusionary practices.

NP. With an acceptance rate of 21%, I would hardly call Hillsdale "desperate". They are extremely selective.

https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/hillsdale-college-2272

They have a 21% acceptance rate among students who would consider going to a right-wing Christian college.

That is not the same thing as the admissions rate at Harvard, Michigan, or any other mainstream college.

Hillsdale invented that? Omg.

A curriculum literally named after ignoring history of colonial America.

What would Pat Sajak’s daughter say, with her Classics study of 1776 BC?
