Imprimis: A Voice for Liberty

Imprimis

Imprimis is the college's approximately monthly speech digest.  Here's one of the, for me, most memorable issues:


Imprimis is available online but also for free in the mail.  Sign up here:    http://lp.hillsdale.edu/imprimis-print/?utm_source=imprimis_sidebar  Their circulation is something like 6 million.

I prefer to read it when it comes in the mail.  Current issue, which I haven't yet read because it's still just online, is here:   https://imprimis.hillsdale.edu/the-way-out/  [In fact, I subsequently read it and strongly recommend it as overwhelmingly timely.]

I'm a donor to the college (currently ~$1,200/year) and have probably done $20k over time.  And the college is a major beneficiary in my will.  Meantime, I've been stiffing my two undergrad colleges, [deleted] and [deleted], for about 20 years, since both alumni rags are full of diversity-babble.  And I cut off [deleted] (my grad school) when they supported the UofMichigan's 2003 affirmative-action cases before the Supremes.

Basic fact about Hillsdale: They accept zero government money.  That frees them from the federal bean counters.  

Students can't use Pell grants or veterans' benefits there.  So the college has to raise lots of money from people like you and me to make things work.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillsdale_College

Thanks for this -- I was not familiar with Hillsdale.

That frees them from the federal bean counters.

The federal Dept of Education ought to be eliminated -- its primary function is to act as the civil rights arm of the DoJ in education -- there used to be a page (here; although it no longer works, look at the URL) showing the racial/ethnic makeup of every agency in the executive branch, and last I looked (when the link worked) almost 40% of DoE employees were black.
