“Hillsdale has been brought up twice during this discussion.
Which represents Hillsdale?”
Having NOT looked for the other post, I can simply tell you:
1. I am not affiliated with Hillsdale in any way, shape or form
2. The closest I’ve ever been to the Hillsdale campus is probably when
my parents drove me over that mile-high bridge from Michigan into
Windsor, Ont. when I was six years old. Scared the h-ll out of me.
3. What I do know about Hillsdale is
a. A good, conservative and independent school
b. A place that hasn’t abandoned traditional education, i.e.,
Western Civ and The Great Books haven’t been replaced by GLBT Studies,
Wymens Studies or Chicano/LaRaza studies,
c. Yes, they had one mell of a hess when there was a scandal involving
the leadership maybe 10 years ago
d. IIRC, the school takes NO federal aid; run on private endowment
(or something radical in that manner)
e. Now under the guiding hand of Larry Arnt (sp?), Hillsdale is
BACK and running smoothly (at least that’s the talk on “the conservative street”)
and oh, yeah,
f. Probably one of the few institutions that I’ll recommend to my
brother when his daughter is getting ready for “where to go for college”.
If you’d like to investigate the good, bad and neutral of Hillsdale, check
the Keyword archive at the URL below. IIRC, The National Review has
an article detailing Hillsdale’s come-back.
