Davidson is no longer conservative leaning like it was in the past. (I grew up there and have a current student.) It has all views, but overall is moderate/left leaning with significant focus on social justice and creating leaders equipped to impact the world for good.
It’s not far left like Reed, Grinnell, etc. so I realize it’s relative. But it’s def. not conservative-leaning. In fact, in NC I’d say Wake Forest and perhaps Duke (huge feeder to Wall St.) have more conservative students than Davidson today.
Just pointing this out b/c I’ve seen this come up before on CC regarding Davidson, and I think it’s an outdated perception.
