[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ND alum here and a flaming liberal.  ND is not "right wing."  It certainly has more right wing and right of center students than most of the other top 25 universities, but its students are still overwhelmingly center left and left wing.  The school went 66 to 27 for Biden in the 2020 mock election, for example.  Its student body is a lot like UVA's or Vanderbilt's, but with more of a religious element.  Right wing rags like the National Review routinely trash Notre Dame for not being conservative enough.   [/quote]

I don’t know when you graduated but it was a much more liberal school under Father Ted.  It changed dramatically when he retired.  It was liberal in the best way too with the “if you want peace - work for justice” way.  It feels more “I gotta get mine” now and very conservative in comparison.  [/quote]

I graduated in Father Ted’s last year as president.  I don’t disagree that the school is more conservative now than then, but unfortunately the whole damned country is more polarized.  My only point is that it’s not “right wing.”  It’s not Pepperdine, Hillsdale or BYU.  It has a vocal conservative presence, absolutely, but the typical student is more likely to be liberal or apathetic than conservative.  Again, it’s similar to UVA.

The law school is a different matter entirely, though.  [/quote]
