We've had Sex Week where there were sex toy demonstrations and such.

It's also in Lexington, a pretty liberal city with a very popular openly gay mayor.

Ole Miss had a student arrested and pressed major charges against him for putting a noose around a statue. Then they said it would cost $10,000 to fix the damages.. NEXT..

LSU has to be the most polarized. They have the second most conservative student body after A&M, but one of the most progressive SJW administrations imaginable east of Berkely.

Ole Miss has a ton of liberal students and hipsters. It’s a blue dot in a Red Sea.

It actually doesn’t suck, it’s very well rounded. Administration is fairly conservative but it’s changed since I was there.

They have southern frat dog and sorority contingent but also a solid music and arts community.

Negative. TCU is nominally affiliated with the Disciples of Christ which are fairly liberal. And Baylor is affiliated with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship which is the liberal branch of the Southern Baptists that somewhat split off from them.

UGA and Bama are pretty similar, but UGa is more liberal. Bama's changed a ton in the last decade and has more out of state than instate students. South carolina would be behind them.

eta: this is from admissions research. Also, I havent spent much time on Miss State's campus, but based on their admissions Id have to think theyre pretty conservative.

Big 12, in theory, I would think Baylor. ACC, in theory, Boston College. Why?


Notre Dame is probably a bit more conservative than BC if you count Notre Dame as ACC. Also, it depends on what you mean by "conservative" - Faculty? Student body? Policies? Virtually none of the private schools in the ACC I would consider liberal schools relative to most universities except maybe Syracuse. UNC is the most liberal school in the conference.

Most of the Big XII is fairly conservative as far as universities go, especially those ag schools. Texas is the most liberal school in the conference.

For the SEC, you all would know better than I, but it seems like Ole Miss, Auburn, Mississippi State, and A&M are relatively conservative. UK, UT, LSU, Arkansas, Alabama, and South Carolina are probably middle of the road. Vanderbilt is more like an ACC school. UGA and UF trend liberal as far as Southern schools go.

Big XII seems like the most conservative overall of the major conferences. PAC 12 the most liberal with the B1G not too far behind them.

Do any schools have more conservative administrations than Ole Miss besides auburn and a&m? How far behind are South Carolina and Georgia? I’ve gotten the hint that the student bodies are pretty liberal but what about the administration.

Damn, Baylor was the first school to pop in my head, but you are right... TCU is probably a little more conservative.. If we are talking from a perception point of view, it is no doubt more conservative. Baylor's reputation isn't the best at the moment.

I doubt any administration is really conservative. Maybe they are relative to the rest of the country, however.
