UC Berkeley diametrical opposite.
A small beacon through the storm clouds of liberalistic indoctrination gripping higher education.
I would have loved to see Larry Aaron nominated for secretary of education.
I sent my oldest daughter to Thomas Moore College in Nashua NH. It was the same sort of school as Hillsdale but deeply Catholic and there was visiting back and forth. Daughter and two colleagues visited with Russell Kirk at the Hillsdale Campus. MIL kvetched for 4 years that no one ever heard of Thomas More and she would never get accepted to a grad school. She went from TM to LSU for her MBA and the registrar clerk had, indeed, never heard of the place. Daughter seemed to be pretty familiar with history and philosophy and had Greek and Latin so the registrar asked for phone numbers. Next day the clerk jokingly asked daughter where she wanted her reserved parking space.
and if I understand correctly, they take NO government money, whether in tuition/research grants or government cheese. There is no way to let the camel get it’s nose into the tent, in other words??
I was expecting condescension or snark from the NY Times, but didn’t see it in this article.
Thankfully I stumbled upon, and enrolled in their FREE online courses. They offer things every American should know: The Constitution, The Federalist Papers, The Founders, all online at no cost. Too bad so many people in this country are ignorant of history. That probably is the biggest factor on why there are so many lib-tards among us.
I used to dream of ivy league admissions for my children. Now I wouldn’t send them there if it were free, and I have a new dream (Hillsdale).
I never attended Hillsdale College but was fortunate enough to live in Hillsdale, Michigan for a time when I was younger. An absolutely beautiful little town!
As a family, we are creating a perpetual scholarship at Hillsdale. I think it is one of the best legacies that we can leave the future. The current cost of a full year scholarship is in the mid $400ks but once started, the scholarship is endowed once the 2 year total exceeds a given amount (has changed since we started it!)
Check with Hillsdale directly if you are interested.
So proud of the alma mater!
Perhaps America’s finest educational institution.
