[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is what I found out when I investigated this. Students are usually quite liberal at most selective schools. What keeps the environment sane is the administration and the board that can hire and fire the administrators. It is amazing how much difference this can make to the school environment.

At Places like Yale, some of  trustees are selected from the alumni body by the Alumni Fellow Nominating Committee. Alumni trustees are elected by the alumni of Yale College and the Yale graduate and professional schools. This means that you can get a very liberal board and this can create all sorts of problems in administration, if you don't want "freaky liberal" nonsense at schools.

Harvard is even worse, because their members of the Board of Overseers are elected by Harvard degree holders. So if the alum pool gets too liberal, you get a uber liberal board that drives the university in all kinds of crazy directions, like what we have been seeing at Harvard.

If you want a sane school, which is not "super liberal", pay close attention to how the board of trustees is elected and how many there are and how they can be removed form the board.

Ideally you want the following

A large number of trustees, so that one idiot with ultra liberal viewpoints or agenda can't influence the whole board

The terms should be staggered, again so that one board member doesn't cast undue influence

Only board members should be allowed to vote in other trustees. This way, SJW alumni can't influence who gets on the board. Also alums who have not achieved anything in their lives cannot dictate who gets on the board.

There should be a provision to eject any Trustee from office with or without cause by a simple majority vote of the Trustees. This keeps a super liberal board member in check.
