Jokes Aside, As a parent who will most probably have to pay full price for a kid to attend a private school, my spouse and I have decided not to give money to schools that are rated poorly for "fostering diversity of viewpoints" and "valuing freedom of speech". We have been following how the elite schools handle these issues based on the controversies on campus and have pretty much eliminated HYPS from the mix of schools that our child will apply to. There are too many good schools in the mix to let our money go to administrations that have policies that we seriously disagree with.

Harvard's administration seems to be specially egregious in this respect.

I think Yale is the most egregious of the HYPS schools in that respect. Harvard is a bit better, and Princeton and Stanford are quite better.  The ivies you wanna avoid are Yale, Brown and Columbia. The rest of the ivies and elites, while also predominantly liberal, are not as militant. [/quote]

I am not sure Stanford is any better. Here is an alternative student newspaper at Stanford and reading it draws a portrait of Stanford that is not very comforting

All elites are very liberal. Stanford is just one of the least liberal of the bunch. Not saying too much, but at least more moderate or conservative students dont get to experience the madness that is Brown or Yale. [/quote]
