[QUOTE="( deleted account ), post: 217299, member: 5993"] my experience too, working a bit in a couple of ND University systems, part time for 30 years and now volunteer some. i just ran across some study that looked pretty reputable that looked at different universities in terms of Conservative/independent/Liberal rofessors and found a large variation from institution to institution and from major to major within institutions. All over the place. The humanity types were more likely to be more populated with the Liberal persuasion, sciences more independent middle of the roaders or more Conservative. No surprises there. The bottom line is to say all or most universities and professors are Liberal is silly. Some universities yes, (most in San Francisco Bay Area for example) but most vary all over the place. And some California Universities were rated very Conservative. I have student relatives at a couple and can agree with that. Cant tar em all with the same,brush. Private universities are a separate category - some way out right, some extreme left, depending on the owner/sponsor. Some surprisingly darned middle of the road and fairly open minded. U of Mary here in Bismarck is a good example of a,conservative facility but encourages overall open minded objective thinking. Yep, some professors are extremely right or left minded, but students seeing all arguments from both sides and thinking about it all in my opinion is a good thing. For a religious institution, I’ve been very impressed with their open mindedness on most, but not all issues. A steady intellectual diet of Liberalism OR Conservatism IMO is a BAD thing! Far too much of,that. One of,the perceptions of most of us here that are VERY conservative, is that even people who are moderate conservative or middle of the readers are considered Liberals, or RINO’s, when they are definitely NOT what most people would consider definitely Liberal. And we have to remember that a lot of people are Conservative as heck on some issues and often Liberal as heck on others. Can’t or shouldn’t categorize everyone as “them”and “us!” That just muddies the thinking waters. IMH OLD O. [/QUOTE]
