<p>I was just wondering, since Yale seems to put so much value on diversity in its admissions process, wouldn't it, as a largely liberal institution, also be looking for political diversity? Or are they simply looking for people who conform to the rest of the college population's political affiliation? Is a membership to the Young Republicans' club the most valuable EC you can have?</p>
<p>Hm....</p>
<p>Don't worry about it. Yale may have a lot of liberal students and faculty but I know a lot of conservatives who go there. And good old George W. is an alum!</p>
<p>One of the best-known and illustrious professors at Yale is Prof. Donald Kagan He is a neo-conservative, but who cares? He is said to be one of the best lecturers/profs to have. </p>
<p>Kagan is currently Sterling Professor of Classics and History at Yale University. His course "The Origins of War" has been one of the university's most popular courses for twenty-five years. He currently teaches "Introduction to Ancient Greek History" and upper level History and Classical Civilization seminars focusing on topics from Thucydides to Spartan Hegemony.</p>
<p>He was Dean of Yale College for a few years.</p>
<p>What I'm asking is if being on the right of the spectrum is a good thing for them to know, because they're seeking diversity and most of their students are leftists.</p>
<p>Oh you're talking about admissions. Who knows?</p>
<p>Not sure, but whoever does, that's who I'm asking, lol.</p>
