" The Manhattan Institute's City Journal looked at 100 colleges, assessing them on qualities that many students and families are concerned about, including free speech, the school's approach to politics on campus, and students' professional success after graduation. Schools that have demonstrated ideological pluralism among the faculty received higher marks. Same for a vibrant and inclusive campus social life. Student tolerance for controversial speakers was another plus.

The rankings also look closely at the strength of the general curriculum and whether the university is providing excellence or coasting on a fancy reputation."

No. This was mentioned by Wall Street Journal in their lead editorial today. So, no,

Scored a "0" for Heterodox Infrastructure. Lost 13% of the total possible score there.

Looking at what that means, I think I'm OK with it:


Heterodox Infrastructure Overall Weight: 13%

Internal Weight Weight %

Civic Learning School and/or Program 80%

Foundation for Excellence in Higher Education Member 10%

Number of Campus "Oases of Excellence" - ACTA 10%

For lots of reasons I prefer no government-sponsored civics instruction so I agree.

When filtered by "support of free speech," sips came in as 17th while A&M came in 40th. Do you really think it is easier for a conservative voice to speak out on the campus in Austin than a liberal voice at A&M? Please. Flawed system.

Something is very wrong for them to think the sips are better at screening out hard left bias. Now that our DEI loving president has resigned, we should be free to clear out the last remnants of DEI staff and return to test-required admissions. It's highly embarrassing that we are still test-optional.

I can tell you from personal experience that the following is an understatement:

"Rice University is awash in activism from administrators to faculty to students. Though it is a major research institution, it has lost its way in recent years."

BTW, this needs to move to the politics forum.

Not really. It's a reminder that various polling and ranking systems are very opinionated.
