Colleges are known for being extremely liberal. I go to school in a very conservative area and yet, most of the professors I know are liberal democrats, and many students are, at most, conservative democrats. Of course there are exceptions, and they tend to be very open about it. Still, the College Democrats have a much easier time staying active than the College Republicans.
A site called Campus Reform encourages students to take back their schools, and make them more conservative. While I belive that colleges should be places where there is a healthy debate on many topics, and permitting one over the other is a perfect way to discourage such debate, I'm not sure this website is going about it in the right way. Of course, encouraging debate might not be their goal. It seems like they want schools to favor conservatism above liberalism, not a healthy balance of the two.
There are a lot of related topics in a debate like this, so look for more posts on the topic. And, as always, I want to hear what your opinions are.
Distance education is making waves these days not simply because it's cheaper but also due to the fact that it can help individuals accomplish their studies in under a period of time in comparison with doing it in a typical way. The convenience that online degree learning introduced in to the human lives is much more important since anyone who is interested to pursue education and learning can do so even when they are working. They could work at their own pace and the idea that they can complete their studies quicker than most traditional students do is really a benefit.
