Claremont McKenna College

Claremont, CA 91711

Part of the Public Policy Training aspect of the new right wing movement. [Editor's note: MT has received a few comments from concerned Claremont students who objected to their college being characterized as part of the right wing movement. MT wishes to clarify that the right wing funding of Claremont is high in proportion to right wing funding provided to other colleges, not in proportion to all the funding available to Claremont.]
