Many liberals claim that without the Federal government helping students and putting tax dollars aiding colleges ( both private and public ), higher education in the USA will deteriorate.

Well, here's one college ( the other one being Hillsdale College in Michigan ) proving the liberals wrong.

I thought it would be appropriate to share their recent history to folks in this forum ( especially to those considering sending their kids to college very soon ).

Thank you for this post about GCC which along with Hinsdale blaze the trail for honest and free academia.
May these shining examples of principled educators and institutions be known far and wide!

Shhh! We can’t have the people knowing that they can get along without a government to depend on. :)

Does anyone know if LIberty University, Ave Maria University and Patrick Henry College have the same policy?

Reminds me of the row at BYU over co-ed dorms. HEW said ‘must have’, BYU said ‘stick it”.

They went to court, BYU won.

The lawyer representing BYU wound up working in the DOJ - Solicitor General or some such. Under Ronnie Raygun no less.

Bottom line for any student - do you want an education or just a degree?

Grove City College is where the illustrious Austrian economist and teacher, Hans Sennholz, found sanctuary.
Today, Reagan biographer Paul Kengor graces its faculty.
