There could be ties--I'll have to ask my officemate, whose wife works for
Southern Poverty. (It seems unlikely to me that they would, since the LoS
has a strong regional vocation that I don't think libertarians would
support. But I wouldn't be surprised.)

 vMI orbits the peripheries of Auburn, though it has been very "active" in
the Economics dept., especially since the latter had it's Ph.D. chopped off
because one of its supporters publicly criticized Auburn's board of
trustees. It gives huge sums of money for faculty lines and research.
