<p>What about Marxist colleges?</p>
<p>^ There are colleges that employ a few Marxist professors.
I don’t think there are any with explicitly Marxist mission statements and policies that drive institutional decision-making (unless you believe race-based AA or sustainability commitments are “Marxist”.)</p>
<p>Hampshire is probably closest, but “communitarian” may be more accurate than “Marxist” to describe the school.</p>
<p>Kim Il Sung University. Hey, I think at least one of the North Korean colleges allows foreigners to study there for a summer. </p>
<p>Anyways, I doubt you’d lack for a Marxist professor in many humanities or social science courses. My sociology professor at Emory seemed to favor a Marxist perspective in both his teachings and research.</p>
<p>The fact that you are asking about “Marxist colleges” implies that you do not know what the word “Marxist” means.</p>
<p>What tk says. I’ll add that you won’t even notice how Marxist a professor is except for a few areas where it might make a difference: economics, political science, history, women’s studies, literature – stuff like that. If it’s important to you, once you’ve narrowed down your list of possible schools, look at web pages of departments that interest you and read the faculty biographies. Using Amazon to track down books that they’ve written can also tell you a lot.</p>
<p>■■■■■ alert</p>
<p>I suspect that today neo-Marxist professors greatly outnumber the orthodox Marxists as neo-Marxists are much better tolerated by entrenched powerful interests because they are far too disorganized, unfocused, and in disagreement to ever pose any significant threat to the power structure.</p>
<p>Neo-Marxists are tolerated by “powerful interests” because academic freedom is required by our accrediting agencies. Neo-Marxists are welcomed by their home departments (which tend to have very little power) because the humanities and social sciences tend to welcome eccentric points of view, especially if they lean to the left and identify with a recognizable school of thought. There has been nothing intrinsically special or not special about Marxism in any form since the 1960s.</p>
<p>^ I made my comment half tongue-in-cheek, using a quasi-Marxist argument to allay fears of Marxism.</p>
<p>But since you responded, I will add that maybe you don’t remember all the orthodox Marxists who were pushed out of faculty positions in the 1960s and 1970s. Academic freedom, like most things (particularly including so-called “freedom of speech”), has a limit, and that limit is reached when it conflicts with the needs of power. Ideas, accepted theories, departments, and academic research all flow within the boundaries laid out for them.</p>
<p>Goodness, even Soviet-bloc state corportatist universities showed a poor understanding of the actual economic philosophy of Marx. Surely the question as posed is either a silly tactic of an ideologue (not sure from what point of view, lol) or just ignorant. </p>
<p>Ask your question plainly or be mocked for foolishness. As it stands, you have not asked a question that can be answered.</p>
<p>You have all been led down a wrong path (perhaps as a result of false consciousness). I believe the OP introduced an unfortunate typo and is actually inquiring about colleges founded or run by the Marist Brothers. The only one I am aware of is in Poughkeepsie, New York, and CC has a forum for it.</p>
