Campuses and Crawlspaces
... where all manner of creepycrawlies live.
With the tendency, post Nov 2, to assign red or blue colors to every segment of American society, no locale is more universally “blue” than the college campus. If you find an admitted Conservative on a college campus you can bet he’s either attending a football game or repairing a faulty Xerox machine. BobLee takes some comfort in this territorial absolute.
Here in North Carolina, we are almost solidly red. You are probably thinking that John Edwards likely carried his home precinct. Heck no, John’s home precinct went 80% Red. One of the few “blue” specks in North Carolina is Chapel Hill, an academic “mill town”. The University of North Carolina is Chapel Hill. This quintessential “college town” is synonymous with its state-supported liberal arts institution in the same fashion that Berkley IS Cal or Cambridge IS Harvard. The Chapel Hill crowd does truly love to be mentioned with those other two by the way.
Conservatives, as a matter of policy, deride and lampoon the pompously arrogant (or arrogantly pompous?) campus humbugs that inhabit these academic communities. Lampooning helps overrides the fear that they exert unfair influence over the eager young minds that wander into their ivy-covered lairs … naïve flies trapped in sinister webs woven by these tweed-jacketed spiders.

I'm thrilled for her but I have to admit I do have some reservations about Duke because they invited and allowed an antisemitic, pro-PLO seminar to be held there recently.
Duke is also the home of the Blue Devils and that is a scary thought, too! lol
Out of curiosity, is there any correlation between liberalism and tuition rates?

I'd also like to know any correlation between number/dollar value of scholarships granted vs. liberalism vs. tuition rates, broken out by state, county, Electoral College mapping. Anybody really a whiz with U.S. Census data? Ping me please.
