"If someone has not already done so, it would be a very good idea to establish a list of higher education institutions whose core curricula reflect the value and content that Hansen describes as worthwhile."

Here's something I found:

Colleges of Character

"Each month, this section features a college or university that is making a sustained and comprehensive effort to promote the moral and civic education of its students."

It's not a concise list, but it's something.

Uhhhhh, two of the college listed as having "character" are Haverford and Brown. Both are highly selective, hard to get into and -- therefore -- "very good schools".

They are also, however, major leftist indoctrination camps.

I see that Berea College in Kentucky is on the listing of “Colleges of Character”. Berea has a very distinctive character but does also teach from a very liberal bias as well. Each alumni magazine I see only emphasizes this bias.

Here’s a pretty conservative school (it is Catholic):

Franciscan University of Steubenville (located in Ohio near Pittsburgh, PA)

Went to your site.
I was encouraged at first, until I saw that their list of criteria for being a “college of character” included

“diversity education”,

which is pure garbage. There is no value in “diversity”, and as a matter of a recent study, it has actual detrimental effects on a community.
