I know the University of Texas at Austin is one. I am a Californian and I recently decided that after I graduate from high school, I don't want to go to UC Berkeley given its extreme leftist staff and student body (there's an objectivist club there too, but I'm still afraid of unpopularity). Any other colleges w/ rational staff? smile.gif (For one, I know that Harvard,Yale, and Cornell are very leftist)

Edwin Locke is professor of psychology at the University of Maryland.

Tara Smith is professor of Philosophy at the University of Texas at Austin.

Gary Hull is a professor at Duke, and is starting Founders College.

There are a few others out there. And there's always the OAC, for grad school.

Well, watch out. It doesn't mean that that the engineering staff will be all that great. But then again, to even be engineers, I would think they'd have to be pretty reality-focused. Maybe you should write Tara Smith and ask how it is there.

Thanks. I'll do that when I apply for college next year. I heard from a liberal essay that computer engineering departments around the United State's colleges are one of the few departments left with a handful of people on the far right (and of course, business schools as well). dry.gif
