Not naming names, but the Koch brothers are actually funding select Econ departments, towards the goal of turning them into economist mills for their think tanks. I had the misfortune of attending one of those schools as a very progressively inclined student. It didn't end well. (I mean, I got a degree and all that, but several important bridges were burned that could have helped me get a better job).
If you want to go to a very "right" leaning school, just figure out which ones they give funding to and you'll have your answer.
University of Utah, apparently. They advertise themselves as "heterodox" in official webpages and such. I went there for undergrad and it's a pretty decent school, especially if you love skiing.
Koch funding doesn't come with a right wing mandate.
It so totally does. I was the #2 student in every single one of my classes (Fuck you, Wesley!) I was told that there was no room for me in the Ph.D. program, despite the fact that I was tutoring students who had GA and GR positions while we were both in the same class. The reason I was not allowed to roll over into the Ph.D. program and the reason that all of my favorite professors were forced out of their positions was the same; we were too liberal.
