It should be noted that less than 10% of Wake’s student body is Baptist, a smaller figure than Roman Catholic (25%) or agnostic/atheist (also ~25%). Virtually all of the other Christian students at Wake belong to mainline Protestant traditions (Presbyterian, Methodist, Episcopalian, UCC, etc.), with the percentage of Evangelical and Mormon students well under 5%.
By establishing other religious officials on campus (Jewish, Muslim, and Catholic) and finally opening an LGBT center, Wake is making an effort to diversify. It’s a slow process, however.
A lot of the elite universities are much more homogeneous politically than Wake – but that doesn’t get addressed since they’re liberal. Despite being extremely liberal myself, I tend to favor moderate environments where thoughtful discussion can take place. Compare to schools where conservative politicians have been heckled or mocked while guests on campus, such as Brown and UNC, or to Earlham, where a student struck a speaker in the face with a pie.
Wake students have identified primarily as moderate (35-40%), with smaller percentages of liberal students (30-35%) and conservative students (25-30%).
