March 29, 2023: Arkadelphian: 3 Arkansas colleges ranked among most conservative in U.S. | Stacker
In some conservative circles, there is a belief that the definition of inclusion on college campuses has evolved to exclude them. And some would argue that any exclusion runs counter to the notion that colleges are where divergent views should be embraced and discussed.
For some students, the way to avoid a sense of ideological dismissal is to choose to attend a conservative college.

Some are inherently conservative because of their professional or business-friendly nature, while others are steeped in a deeply held history of conservatism.
