Stop calling CMC conservative. It is more center/center left/left leaning than anything else. They surveyed their current students and only a quarter identified as either center-right or right: center-right (17%), right (6%) and far right (0%). In contrast, the majority was left/center left or far left with students identifying as left (27%), center-left (26%) and far left (6%). Centrist was 13%.

thank you - I was saying this on the other thread! there's a tiny but vocal right-wing crew that makes a lot of noise but they are not popular. center-right folks do fine there but majority is clearly left or center-left.

However, schools are still teaching a lot of the oldies but goodies.

Interesting. Although I do not know many undergrad students at WashU, the ones whom I do know are Jewish & liberal and are very happy at WUSTL.

Maybe in 1995.

It is the opposite now.

UChicago was always old-school conservative - free trade, free market and freedom of speech. They would rail against Trump's poor understanding and love of tariffs, volatile trade policy, and war on universities and free speech.

My dad was a U Chicago Economics prof before retiring and he and his colleagues were fans of Reagan back in the day but absolutely hate Trump and voted for Harris, Biden and Clinton over him.

OP said TOP 50

Most of the schools being mentioned are out of the top 50. Baylor, Sewanee, Ole Miss, Bama, and so on. Highly educated smart people tend to be liberal.

Easy fix. Take a list of the Top 100 schools and turn it upside-down and voila--you have a new Top 50 !

Purdue?
WashU?
UVA?

Thanks OP for ridiculous trolling and stirring of the pot,

Oh God, Milton Friedman broke bread with South American dictators. How principled can they have been? Anyway, UChicago is full of mostly moderate libs now.

It always has been. It just happened to have more conservative faculty. It still allows very conservative voices

VT is a politically moderate place. No one viewpoint dominates any other. Very refreshing.
