among LACs, Davidson is doing nothing particularly ambitious. It’s a good school and does fine getting its students into meaningful (read high salary) careers. It’s nothing special.

that was our thoughts when we toured.

Schools like Davidson, Holy Cross, and Colgate appeal to many families who are poltical moderates. Those 3 schools offer a great collegiate vibe not dominated by woke ideology and protests. If want a good ROI on $100k a year those 3 Delivery. If kid wants to be a college professor try Haverford, Wesleyan, or Middlebury.

This is false. No thanks to misinformation.

Davidson removed the requirement over 10 years ago that President of the college had to be Presbyterian. Just happens that current President is an ordained Presbyterian minister. No shocker as school was dominated for decades by wealthy Irish Presbyterians.

One of my kids is a political moderate but didn't like Davidson. It just... wasn't that special.

Those dumping on Davidson are idiots. That said all of the schools that you mentioned are excellent schools and anyone dumping on them is also an idiot.

By-laws were updated 5 years ago.

Wow, only revised 5 years ago. Reflects the drastic decline in Mainline Protestant membership. Catholics are also largest denomination at Duke and Wake.
