[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh wow! I'm a racing liberal who WAS open to DD going to GMU. I know about the law school but the whole school leans right? No thanks. Question answered, OP. [/quote]

“Racing” illiberal, are you saying that you don’t want your children to be exposed to people who might have opposing views?  [/quote]

Not the poster but as a parent of a gay HSer, I would not feel comfortable sending my child to a conservative school. Not that he would apply. But there is a difference between opposing views and views that say my child should not exist and is an abomination. I'm surprised URM go there and it is as diverse as it is. They must be international. [/quote]I don’t think of GMU as a conservative school in the least. However, it has pockets of conservative thought in economics and law. And it has an associated libertarian think tank in the Mercatus Center (located along with law in Arlington). Doubtful that many undergraduates are even vaguely aware of these. Your kid should be safe.  :roll: [/quote]

My concern is about faculty and admin treating him poorly and less about other students. The people with the power to grade him and make his life either positive or negative.[/quote]
At the other end of the spectrum is the Jimmy and Rosslyn Carter Center for Conflict Resolution. I know you indicated that this is not a school you will be seriously considering, but I don’t believe you have any reasons to expect poor or unequal treatment.[/quote]

GMU is not a conservative school.  The faculty tends liberal like most places.  The biggest initiative now is Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.  
The whole Koch Bros. thing is NOT for the overall university it is for the law school/econ dept--they don't donate to anything else.[/quote]
