As a person educated in a Jesuit institution, I would argue that they are not a 'conservative' college at all.

The Society of Jesus welcomes robust discussion, but rejects those who would espouse bigotry.

over the violent objections of a lot of the conservative parents. The school fought the conservatives off and had the speaker, and lost a lot of donor money in the process. This was 30 (good God!) years ago.

I've always been grateful for them for that.
