<p>Kalbany: wanted to pipe in about the “liberal” comment regarding Cornell. ALL universities are mostly liberal. The professors are just bent in that direction for the most part at every institution of higher learning.</p>
<p>However…Cornell has a very active College Republicans Club - they have hosted Santorum/Dean debate, Herman Cain, Rand Paul, S.E. Cupp, etc. Engineers tend to be more conservative as a group. I’ve heard the more analytical, mathematical people who can evaluate facts and trends lean mostly right. My son is a sophomore engineer and is very economically conservative. He’s found many like-minded friends in his classes and in his fraternity. I think the conservative voice is strong, but maybe not as vocal.</p>
