It looks like the Ivy’s are going to be shortchanged in the new president’s Cabinet.

In the early picks, it’s graduates of Michigan (two), Alabama, Indiana, Wisconsin, Clemson, East Carolina, Texas, Tulsa, Central Washington, Washington University, Calvin College and Mount Holyoke College.

Nice mix for a change. William F. Buckley would have been proud.
