[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm Jewish and I know a bunch of Jews who opted out of applying to Ivies (including some major legacies) and instead are at WashU, Vandy, etc.

Most of these families are over-reacting to the claims of anti-semitism at Ivies and are kind of Trumpy. I think there was some anti-semitism at these schools, but I think Trump has dramatically over-reacted and is using this to act like a tough guy, not because he cares about anti-semitism. But like most MAGA people, these families have had a deep drink of the Kool-Aid.

I'm not sure if I want my kid surrounded by these types. I'm also not thrilled with Columbia and Penn. So I'm not sure what the right answer is. I want a school that is in it for the long term.[/quote]

MIT.  This is the way.[/quote]

MIT had its issues during the height of things. And it's not really an option for 99.9 of students regardless.

I get the sense that Vanderbilt's point is that a modern university's place is to provide a forum for a wide variety of divergent thought - as along as it's well-argued, humane, and fact-based. I would think that would be the norm everywhere, but here we are. [/quote]
