[quote=Anonymous]Re conservatism and college:

GMU is not a conservative school.  Part of its economics department (Mercatus Center) reflects a particular strand of conservatism, as does part of its law school.  Those  schools have received Koch brothers funding for specific faculty lines/projects.   GMU's graduate public policy program is also one that is considered politically "balanced"--somewhat out of necessity to serve graduate students in DC area working in a range of administrations. The rest of the university is more typical of other colleges/universities--a range of perspectives but overall a liberal tilt. Overall undergrad student body leans liberal, but not in a strong way.

CNU does lean somewhat conservative in both faculty and students than most colleges/universities.  Politics aside,  I think CNU has had a harder time attracting/retaining strong faculty and has some administrative issues.  But it may be one of the few non-religious colleges and universities that has a politically conservative bent so it may serve a niche for some.

JMU is a traditional. slightly liberal college.  Like most colleges, there are individuals-- student, faculty and administrators--who are conservative, but the overall feel is liberal-ish.
