In an era when higher education is increasingly criticized for being exclusionary, overpriced, and ideologically rigid, Claremont McKenna College (CMC) under President Hiram Chodosh today offers a powerful counter-narrative: one rooted in democratizing access to top-tier education and fostering the kind of civic discourse essential to a functioning democracy.
In this light, it should be noted that the City Journal College Rankings recently ranked Claremont McKenna #1 in the metrics of support for free speech, faculty ideological pluralism, faculty teaching quality, student communal life, and its quality of alumni network.
