Sure. Yet somehow the editors were able to see past that and give Chicago a “green light”.
I’m not a huge fan of the ISI. In my book, the “train wrecks” would include schools like Liberty University and Bob Jones. The top 10 “exceptional” schools would not include (certainly wouldn’t be dominated by) Christian colleges. However, given the OP’s description of himself and the colleges that interest him, I doubt he is even looking at Christian colleges. He seems to be focusing on top ~50 colleges, most of which are at least fairly liberal. If he is trying to identify those among them where conservative viewpoints would be treated fairly, why not read what conservatives themselves have to say about that?
