[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][guardian][quote=Anonymous]GMU is much more conservative (lots of conservative donors) and CNU is much more conservative because the white community / military in Hampton Roads is more conservative. [/quote]

[b]GMU students are not conservative. They are like the rest of the DMV.[/b][/quote]

The libertarian/conservative donors donate to the Law School, the economics dept. and its Mercatus Center.  The rest of the university has no connection.  The remaining faculty and students tend liberal/left though there's the usual variety.  The school is also known for things more associated with liberal concerns:  a strong climate change research and conservation center (that routinely gets harassed by rightwing folks outside the university), excellent media and African American studies, the center for new media and digital history (which has , conflict resolution and transformation (which works on issues related to refugees and DREAMers), and for providing graduate education for most of the area educators.  It is also one of the most ethnically and racially diverse schools in the US.  I would say its defining feature in terms of politics is inclusiveness.[/quote]
