The News & Observer follows on a Locker Room post
of last week to tell its readers that “an entirely different kind of
liberal-arts college” has scrapped plans to locate in Oxford, NC, and
has settled on a site near Altavista, Va. What makes this college
“entirely different,” according to the N&O? Here’s what they say about it:

Called Founders College, the four-year school would operate as a
for-profit residential campus with a copyrighted, liberal-arts
curriculum, an emphasis on teaching over publishing research and
admissions criteria that do not include SAT or Advanced Placement test
scores.

But they leave out the bit that makes this college “entirely
different”: It will be based on the philosophy of the late Ayn Rand.
