I’m very knowledgeable about WashU, and this is BS. And why weren’t they one of the “friendly colleges” to get a DOE pledge letter this week if this is true?

Also, the Koch brothers are not on the WashU board. There are others in the Koch family who are donors to WashU as well as many other non-conservative causes.

Per a simple Google search: “Roger and Fran Koch, not the well-known Charles and David Koch brothers, are the benefactor.”

I don’t think any post in 9 pages has actually answered which of the T50 is most conservative friendly.

Where did that list come from? I highly doubt Radford is more conservative than Hillsdale. Yes, it is in a conservative section of VA, but everything I saw on that campus as my daughter was considering it was open and accepting. I mean, maybe it helped that she was going to major in dance - performing arts majors tend to be progressive/liberal leaning.

Because that’s normal. The cult of personalities being foisted on the social media addicted is not normal and tribalism has taken over. Hopefully cooler heads will ultimately prevail.
