A Political Scientist Creates an Online University Catering to Conservatives
By MICHAEL ARNONE

Dismayed by what he perceives as a liberal bias in American higher education, Richard J. Bishirjian has created Yorktown University, an online institution tailored for conservatives.

Mr. Bishirjian -- a former political-science professor at the University of Dallas and at the College of New Rochelle, in New York -- and 54 other instructors started teaching in June at the institution, which is organized as a for-profit venture and which takes its name from the final battle of the Revolutionary War. Several of the instructors have held high positions in Republican administrations or are known as conservative authors and opinion writers.

So far, the university has attracted 25 students, who are taking courses that embrace Western civilization and free-market philosophies of economics and government. Students can earn bachelor's degrees in government and managerial economics, or take courses for personal interest. Yorktown is currently seeking accreditation.

That is correct, Andy. After Rush Limbaugh(?) and me, there are 23 students.
