http://www.mediatransparency.org/recipientprofile.php?recipientID=413The heavy stream of money invested in George Mason University offers a striking example of the attention that conservative foundations have paid to the recruitment and training of college youth. Located just outside the Washington, D.C. beltway and offering good access to national decision makers, George Mason University has been a magnet for right-wing money for over a decade.
From 1992 through 1994, the 12 foundations invested a combined total of $8.55 million in various academic programs and institutes of George Mason University. This amount placed the University third among all academic and non-academic grantees, traiing only the more prestigious University of Chicago and the Heritage Foundation. Among other things, awards to George Mason University supported the work of the Center for Market Processes ($2.1 million), the Center for the Study of Public Choice ($524,100), the Institute for Humane Studies ($3 million), and the Law and Economics Program and Center ($1.4 million), headed by Henry Manne.
Both the Institute for Humane Studies(IHS) and the Center for Market Processes(CMP) offer training programs for young conservatives to prepare them for public policy careers.And yes, I did grow up in Connecticut :-)
