<p>Faculty and other unionized college labor are employees. They lean left. You just heard about that here for the first time?</p>
<p>I was being sarcastic. Obviously, the ability to convey sarcasm on the Internet is relatively weak.</p>
<p>True, that. We need a clear sarcasm emoticon!</p>
<p>Yeah, I usually just use <sarcasm> </sarcasm> although I thought the one I posted was pretty straightforward.</p>
<p>the sarcasm 'emoticon' is:
<sarcasm>[insert sarcastic remark here]</sarcasm></p>
<p>how liberal/conservative is econ specificly at u chicago?</p>
<p>drummerdude: I'd suggest you contact the College Republican club at each college you're considering and e-mail them about how they find the classes and general campus atmosphere.</p>
<p>In the first lesson in keeping an open mind department: According to studentsreview, Columbia has the largest College Republican club in the Ivy League.</p>
<p>cant believe i didnt think of that myself you r a genius!</p>
<p>Well, newsflash, im just a junior but ive researched and spoken to many Cornell students, cus its where i want to go. Cornell's history department is very liberal, Cornell's entire administration is entirely liberal id say 30:1 like that, Yes, its that bad. Its so bad that a conservative newspaper at cornell just recently in the last month, lost ALL funding. The conservative students i heared are put down and are not allowed to express themselves. Extreme leftist professors impose their views on students and a study showed that the number of conservatives entering cornell as freshman is much higher than how many graduate...showing that Cornell "liberalizes" you. LOL. its true though, thats why i love it. Maybe not for this guy who started the thread.</p>
<p>Cornell College Republicans are ridiculed and laughed at, mocked, etc., College Democrats at Cornell control every aspect of student government, newspapers, etc. BUT, conservatives do have their own paper, though its not read by students; its laughed at, and just looked at as a joke, honestly. Its cus the conservatives bash the administration all the time for being "liberal". Im a member, and director of a chapter of the Young Democrats of America so you can ask me this stuff.</p>
<p><em>cough</em> Not all Democrats are right, and not all Republicans are wrong.</p>
<p>Even though I'm here in sunny, Democrat-bastion California (Los Angeles), I'm still a conservative at heart, and the Chairperson of my school's Young Republicans.</p>
<p>Well i applaud you. I never said anything about whos right and whos wrong. Im saying that Cornell is very liberal.</p>
<p>Every school has a Republican majority and a Democrat minority, or vice-versa. Cornell may be liberal, but it is not extremist/radically liberal. So the word ** very ** is relative.</p>
<p>well...i would disagree... that applies to many skools but Cornell has an extremely small conservative faculty, that is an undeniable fact! as far as the students, yes, it is relative, cus in Cornell, id say the L-C ratio is about 4:1...not that bad...not like 30:1 for professors</p>
<p>most southern universities are very conservative</p>
<p>most schools have a liberal bias, because of the liberal bias in the whole academic profession</p>
<p>The further Down south and the closer you get to the center of the midwest, the more conservative you'll get</p>
<p>The current best-selling conservative author went to Cornell, if that interests you</p>
<p>I know who Ann Coulter is. I read a lot about her. Shes interesting...and crazy, but interesting. Yes, i know she visits cornell a lot, and did admires the school too.</p>
<p>I watch her on Fox News.....how geeky of me; and my dad (a staunch moderate-liberal) reads her books.</p>
<p>lol yeah, my friend has a coulter bobblehead doll, its disturbing</p>
<p>ann coulter is a "loudmouth ignoramous who spouts lies" haha just to quote ABC.</p>
<p>Berkeley used to be this huge liberal powerhouse but it has most definitely gotten more repubican- it's got the biggest republican club in US. universities. you'll be fine there.</p>
