Where does your school lie on a spectrum of 0=Liberal and 10=Conservative?

I'd like to think A&M is about an 8, but that is based on when I was there in the late 80's. Now, not sure. Haven't been back in a few years, and we are now a 60K student diploma mill with no bonfire.

I went to Texas for my MBA. I would have put them at a 1 then, but they are not that conservative anymore, I think.

I tell people that A&M and Texas both have Presidential libraries. Texas has LBJ and A&M has GHWB, and that tells you all you need to know about their politics. (I actually forgive the man for his pre-election stance. He earned that right a long time ago in my book.)

Centenary College when I attended... 5
Centenary College right now .... 0

That's why I don't send them any alum donations.

LSU is about a 7 I'd guess. It was pretty conservative when I was there. But that was a long time ago at this point. It could be nonstop SJW now for all I know.

Georgia State is a 0.

Many years ago it was a liberal bastion. Today they send emails touting their being "#1 in diversity." I told them to shove their "diversity" up their asses. I quit my small donations & did not renew my season football tickets. Both of which are money well not spent.

I think Nicholls is the most conservative school in LA, and I guess Tulane would be the most liberal, at least in a traditional view. Some of the HBCUs likely have the highest rate of Dems to Rs, but I'd still give the nod to Tulane.

Well, according to the on-campus vote, LSU is more conservative than the rest of the state of LA. So there's hope!

Extremely. Hippies, art-figs, do gooder teachers, and faculty make for a very 'progressive' environment.

My degree, which technically reads Sustainable Development - Agroecology, literally took the UN 21 Agenda as part of its core reasoning.

ULL- Outside of that foreign student falsifying a police report, I would give the rest of the student body a solid 6 or 7.

Now, the area surrounding the campus (Acadiana) is probably one of the most conservative areas in the state.

Yes, it's in that hippie hill country swath of western North Carolina that the Vanderbilts infested. Beautiful country with a bunch of fricktards.
