Instead of school closures, this "freedom" university is opening in Austin

Here’s the thread I started on the “survey” I received from Hillsdale:

Hillsdale College "Survey," scam or real?

Did anyone else get a Hillsdale College “survey” in the past month or so? I’ve been going through junk mail from our trip and came across it in my pile, so I’m not exactly sure when I received it. That said, the contents bothered me. I know Hillsdale is conservative and they don’t take gov’t money, etc, but this “survey” (entitled National Opinion Survey of 1,000,000 US Citizens About Socialism and The Left’s Hijacking of American Education) was something else - something I’m used to seeing from super far right sources with their biased questioning and telling the reader they have to give money or doom is upon us. I filled out their survey, with “my” comments, and sent it in the mail (definitely no money sent - not even a stamp since it was prepaid postage), but overnight I got wondering if it was possibly a scam? Would any sort of “real” college do such an awful (biased) survey and connect their name to it? If it’s real, I’m definitely dropping them from my suggestions for conse…

And here’s a link to a similar, but not the same “survey” they sent out in 2019 (like provided by @kelsmom ):

I wish I had taken photos of the one I received. It was eye-opening coming from what I thought was a legit college (conservative, but legit). I answered it writing in a little bit of my thoughts rather than checking boxes and sent it back, then thought about seeing if it might have been a scam.

We relatively often get surveys here (usually phone) from Franklin & Marshall and Monmouth. I expected similar (but written) when I saw Hillsdale. It’s no longer legit to me. Not when they send out that cwap and call it a survey putting their name on it.
