Hillsdale College Takes A Stand
Hillsdale College is one of an exceedingly small number of colleges that does not take federal money of any kind. As highlighted on their website, they offer an education “designed to equip human beings for self-government.” They teach that “freedom can only last if you and I choose to act as people of character.” They do this without bowing down to demands from our federal government of what a college education should be.
Founded in 1844 by Baptists, Hillsdale is a non-sectarian institution whose teachings are “informed by Christianity’s moral teachings.” Its founders were abolitionists and feminists so the college has admitted blacks and women since its founding.
