St. Maximos' Hut

Where do (and don't) religious economists work?
Presumably at America's most (and least) religious colleges and universities. List and article here.

I suppose we didn't need experts to tell us this:

Experts say the college experience has a dramatic impact on student spirituality. An ongoing $1.9 million study at the University of California-Los Angeles has shown that most students have found few outlets on campus to foster their spiritual development.

Fr Michael the Huttite:
Though not mentioned in this article, my own alma mater, the University of Dallas, a Catholic school, was in sixth place. Yesss!

Roger Meiners (mail):
Most colleges are surrounded by facilities provided by assorted churches that hope to attract students to the Lutheran or Baptist student center, etc. So the lack of interest in spirituality must not be due to lack of opportunities to foster spiritual development but the lack of mission of secular colleges. This gets back to PJ's point of why colleges with a religious affiliation should be able to discriminate on that basis in their hiring--to provide students who self-select the opportunity to have a pervasive spiritual presence on campus, not just in facilities bordering the campus.
