But conservatives have Bob Jones University. Why isn't Bob Jones on the same level as Berkeley?

I agree. The discovery of low salt Matzos Balls was a technological breakthrough.

Conservative tend to want to home school using alternate educational criteria that is not adaptable to accepted educational norms. Their children's minds are generally closed through indoctrinated home schooling by the time they reach college age, thereby insuring they will not be susceptible to the communist propaganda taught in those evil liberal secondary institutions.. Teaching impressionable children that man walked with dinosaurs and global warming is a communist plot generally makes their minds closed to accepted scientific methodology taught in the higher learning establishments.

Hey. You asked, I answered. It makes just as much hypothetical sense as any other answer someone gives in this thread.

Some of the conservative schools the OP was asking about.

University of Dallas
Liberty University
College of the Ozarks
Houston Baptist
Regent University
Brigham Young University
Duck Dynasty Barn Paddle College
Any Sarah Palin Family Gathering
Edge of Town Militia and Round Belly Club

That's a bunch of crap. There are those that are part time professors that also do. There are plenty of full time professors that earn more then those that do. Most people follow the money.

Nice, a shout-out for one of my schools. Did two years and a bit over 80 credits there. Great school for "classical liberal thought."

Indeed, a very good, well rounded institution. I know some very fine alumni from there.
