Ralston College is a private unaccredited liberal arts college[1] in Savannah, Georgia. It describes itself as being dedicated to "freedom of thought and speech",[2][3][4] and is associated with prominent conservative figures,[4][5] with Stephen Blackwood as president, Jordan B. Peterson as Chancellor and funding from conservative activists including Paul Marshall.[6] Ralston College started accepting graduate students to its one-year MA in the Humanities in the summer of 2022.
The Sequoia Trust is chaired by Marshall, with his wife and son among the trustees. It was founded in 2015 and in the year to mid-2022 dispensed some £80m in charitable giving; its net assets stood at £417m. It gave £10m to the Church Revitalisation Trust (CRT); £1m to HTB; and £18m to Ralston College, a new liberal arts college in Savannah, Georgia which admitted a grand total of 24 students in the academic year beginning in autumn 2022. The college's chancellor is the controversial right-wing culture warrior Jordan Peterson.
