Top Ten Most Conservative Colleges/Universities in America

[Citizen James]

My nephew goes to #4.

Though there is a high stress on professionalism and disipline, I have heard nothing about any serious political bias at the university from him.

Of course, the terms 'liberal' and 'conservative' are a bit vacuous anyway. 

In a way, these lists seem to describe more of a communitarian/libertarian axis than liberal/conservative.  but even that is generalizing a bit.

I agree that Hillsdale is quite conservative, though I would've put Hope higher.

I wonder how the U.S. Military Academy as well as the U.S. Coast Guard Academy failed to make the list? The other three service academies did.

It was probably a selective move.  You can allign the Coast Guard Academy with Kings Point, and West Point with Annapolis (in the way they noted those two at the end of the other Academy listings).  I would think having all five service academies dominating the list would come across as being a bit unfair.    I'm just tickled that Kings Point made the list.  hehehe

But now Kings Point and Coast Guard are in different conferences. That is going to make the Secretary's Cup less of a big deal. Besides, don't they work for DIFFERENT secretaries now? (Transportation vs DHS)

hehehe . . . well, I'm sure we'll find a way around that.  As far as being under different secretaries, I'm not sure who has the claim on Kings Point these days.  I know the Navy's investment in the school has increased since 9/11 (and it is apparent when you go up there to visit), but I'm not sure if they now fall under Department of Defense or Homeland Security.  If I remember correctly (and this has been a few years now), the Navy was funding about 20% of the schools cost, primarily to maintain the T-AGOS which they received from MSC and to run CAORF (the navigation simulator) and the continuing education center.  Dept. of Trasportation was covering all other expenses for logistics, facilities, and education.

[NewFederalist]

From what I can tell from the websites USCGA is now operated by DHS and USMMA remained at DOT. Maybe both secretaries will feel compelled to attend the game now! Go Mariners!

Uh, Hillsdale College voted Bush with around 60 percent of the vote and ranks first, while Brigham Young voted Bush with over 90 percent and is third?  Gee.

Where did these statistics come from, Alcon?  I'd really like to know the breakdown for other colleges!
PS, what about Colorado University?  Their student body is notoriously Conservative.

I looked them up myself.

Do you mean Colorado Tech or the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs?

It looks like the Colorado Tech precinct was 66% for Bush.

U of C

[Alcon]

U of C

I'm assuming you don't mean Boulder's campus, and are talking about Colorado Springs.

The precinct containing U of C is pretty big, and I'm not sure if there is actually student housing in it (it contains a lot of residential areas), but Bush received 68% there.

All surrounding precincts also voted heavily for Bush.
