Is your university liberal or conservative?

[phigamucsb]

I was just wondering if your schools were primarily liberal or conservative. Out here in California the students and faculty are mostly liberal. I feel so alone being conservative.

Students defintely Liberal/Socialist.... and maybe a few Communists and Anarchists for flavour.

Seriously most if not all Universities in Canada would be considered very liberal by students from the States. It is a little more complicated (isn't everything though) than liberal-conservative.... it all depends on the issue or subject. For example we have two colleges that are Catholic/Anglican and both administrations (and students to a degree) are more conservative socially, although they can be way out in left field on other issues.

However UofT is considered more conservative than other Universities like York or Concordia.... we don't have riots or brawls over Isreal/Palestine.....

We have really large contingents of both liberal liberals and conservative liberals. We see very few real conservatives. Even the four Christan colleges (Catholic, Anglican, United and Mennonite (sp?)) are rather liberal.

But my school is mostly apathetic. No one cares about anything.

In Canada, I would think that Queen's and University of Western Ontario are the most conservative, and even then, there are all kinds of socialists. But that may be because the student media give them the most attention. Sometimes I wish that Canadians would be more conservative like some schools in the US. In many ways, we're just getting out of hand! Pray hard Conservative Canadians!

Conservative, though every once-in-a-while there is a liberal push (like the fetish/SDM club that is currently under investigation).

The other school in the state is very liberal.

Oh god no! I can't stand the fact that my university is run by raving socialists, but if they were conservative I think I'd freak out.
Why can't we find a happy medium. Middle of the road liberal. I would like that.

Doesn't York have a large student body who are first generation Canadian? I'd think that their parents being immigrants would have made them more conservative. I'm considered liberal by Chinese Canadian standards (especially those who are religious), but certainly conservative by the mainstream.

Oh for the love of DOG I hope this doesn't happen. I love living in a country where people's civil rights and liberties are taken seriously, not as something to be steamrolled out of political expediency or at the whims of the religious right.

Canada has a beautiful thing going here. Please, please, PLEASE let it stay this way.

I'd have to say conservative.

But I think there were more registered Democrats than Republicans.

Boo... I'd have to say that Kinkfest was one of the more memorable parties of the year so far up here.... if only for the look on a sorority's consultant's face when she saw the girls getting ready for the fun

Yes, but sometimes we're so "liberal" that we're bordering on being morally corrupt! I'm praying that the pot laws don't go through and praying that some things seen on CITY-TV are transferred to the Sex Channel on digital cable (or at least Bravo! or Much). While I watch some of these things (namely SATC), I don't think they should be on regular TV. Another problem I have is multiculturalism. It only promotes racism and segregation.

So I am assuming you think the Netherlands is a morally corrupt country?

What if I said yes?

The University of Chicago is arguably the birthplace of the neoconservative movement.

Nonetheless there are a bunch of dirty kids with long dirty hair, acne, sporting hemp accessories, protesting through lies, etc.
