I'm on my 4th year at Bama and believe it or not we aren't that conservative.
If so, then I could see Bama's student body leaning/trending more liberal as opposed to the other schools in the SEC.
I know that I had a marketing professor at Auburn who termed himself "the token liberal in the college of business."

Is South Carolina really that liberal compared to the rest of th SEC? I am honestly just asking because any experiences I've had with SC made Mississippi seem urban.

I'm sure Princeton review really has a good idea about where all the weed is. How could they even try to pretend that that's reliable information.

The state as a whole is very conservative. There are a few liberal counties (Beaufort, Horry, etc) due to the vast amount of Yankee's who retire there.
The University of SC is probably middle of the pack. Lots of conservatives, but a fair share of liberals, too. Dr. Don Fowler was chairman of the DNC in 1992 when Clinton was elected. Although liberal, he was one of my favorite professors at USC.

I say someone should come up with a grading scale based on certain criteria. What are some criteria and point values we could assign? And who would want to do the research?
Communist Student Organization - 10 pts
Gay/Straight/Transgender Org - 8 pts
NORML Student Org - 7 pts
Racial/Ethnic breakdown - ???
% International students - ???
PETA student group - 6 pts
SEX week or open sexually-oriented events - 6 pts
Repub/Democrat organization ratio
others?

We are talking about UK not the state/commonwealth of Kentucky.
UK had a "SEX WEEK" for goodness sake that included seminars on pole dancing and Sex toys 101. That would never happen in Mississippi or Alabama

I think I was the only hardcore Democrat at Alabama during my tenure. Or at least it seemed that way at times.

I honestly dont think that Mississippi State or Ole Miss would ever hire a Transvestite professor. WOW thats crazy.
Hire may be the key word there
If someone does something goofy like this and they are already hired you can't fire them without facing an obvious discrimination lawsuit
The oddest example of this was something I heard about from a friend who was at Colorado. Young man shows up for his interview and is accepted as a faculty member.
Between the time of being hired and his start date he apparently has a sex change operation and shows up to work as a woman

Actually, there are more registered Democrats than Republicans in Kentucky. They just don't show up to vote.

Which is very unfortunate, and one of the things I hate about Kentucky.

That's not something to be proud of.

Compared to the rest of the SEC, you are. 76% of your students are in state. Alabama is notoriously considered as a conservative state.

For the longest time, southern Democrats were conservative. Look at Zell Miller of Georgia. He ran for, and was elected, governor as a Democrat. It was only later he switched parties (when he was in Washington) because of the way the national Democratic party had swung.
In a lot of places in the south, (well maybe up until the last two-four years) you could have Democrats run and be elected by hefty margins in local (city, county and even state) races. It is when a candidate reaches the national level where and need support frm the DNC that they have to start walkng the party line about issues, and that is where they get hurt in the south.

I dropped two seperate classes with two seperate profs at UA because the they wanted to argue against Christianity over and over.

Were they science or religion based classes?

I agree with this question.

Because if they were there's nothing to complain about.
A sociology class? nothing to complain about.
A math class, a writing class, or maybe a history class and I might raise an eyebrow.
