And I think there are probably smaller schools that skew more conservative (something tells me that Abilene Christian University may be more conservative). Your use of A&M didn't derail the conversation, it actually made a critical point, but one I don't think you meant to.

You mention religious schools. So did I, even though the focus now is on A$M, the only non-religious school I used as an example..

Since religious people are more likely to be anti-abortion, and thus more likely to support the right, perhaps this is why you see baylor this way,and not their animal rights or murder activities.

Quote: Your small sample size of 3 is rather hilarious when you think about the size of the current A&M population, let alone the population of all graduates.

And yet the brouhaha is because some students -perhaps 3 or less - may not deserve the blanket reputation their choice of school lays on them. Is there anybody here who thinks the reputation of a Rice degree is unimportant?

Also, I think you misuse "hilarious", unless it puts you ROTFLYAO

Quote:There are great examples of universities that pride themselves on their conservative bonafides - fewer than those that similarly pride themselves on their liberal bonafides, though.

True, and there are organizations and people who would never consider someone from the wrong side of the auditorium, based on their school of choice. Either side.
