[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't give a hoot about any of the rankings, but it will be interesting to see how the reversal of Roe v. Wade affects the ability of colleges in red states to attract strong students, especially women. Rice, Wash U, Tulane and Vanderbilt could be in trouble.[/quote]

Your daughter factors in the ability to get an abortion in her evaluation of colleges? Interesting.[/quote]

That's a pretty narrow-minded response. One doesn't have to care about one's own personal situation to factor something into a decision, and many kids (mine included) care about going to school in a geographic area that values the ability of a woman to decide for herself (within the limitations of reasonable restrictions) whether she is jeopardizing her relationship with God in order to not bring an unwanted child into the world. Just like they don't want to be somewhere that their LGBTQ friends don't have the same rights as they do. Or their friends of color are not treated nicely by the locals. Etc.

The laws and policies in some states just continue to encourage the brain drain that's been going on for decades and that contributes heavily to the polarization of our country. The more educated you are, the less likely you are to feel comfortable in a place that values some citizens less than others. That's a problem for universities in those states.[/quote]
