<p>Conservative activism? Yes, I think you will find that, especially at Hillsdale, the very conservative Catholic and Christian colleges (Franciscan, Thomas Aquinas (CA), Grove City come to mind), they are very proactive in politics. However, there is a distinct lack of the “in your face” quality of some of the more vocal liberal groups. Maybe that’s why we don’t notice them as much.</p>
<p>Dorian_Mode, you may be right about people being more liberal as youths, but I can’t imagine that there is quite that much disparity. And, I’ll bet the left-shift is not just in the student body, but is embraced by the faculty, and maybe even staff positions. I always think one should be challenged to consider ALL points & sides while in college. I think it is sad that while in lock-step with other issues of diversity, that of thought simple doesn’t exist in established academia.</p>
