Not really, traditionally there is substantially support for free market capitalism in academia. There also used to be a lot of intellectual conservatives coming from academic like George Will, and William Buckley. The problem with universities started when the GOP was hijacked by people who disliked intellectuals and did not value university learning. In fact, William Buckley warned against allowing such people to gain power and influence.
Universities do not have a problem with the GOP and the GOP does not have a problem with universities. In fact my aforementioned father-in-law (who is a staunch Republican) has a very close relationship with his alma mater (University of Michigan). As a Republican myself who went to Northeastern University I never came across an intellectual that I didn't like, of course the ones I came across were not the liberal loonies who tried to force their views down my throat.
Ohio was lost in 2010 when the dem GOTV operations in Cuyahoga were disrupted by the indictments of many dems in leadership positions. The feds, backed by the bush WH, spent years and millions wiretapping and investigating just about every dem office holder in the county. Just when the organizing for the 2010 congressional elections would be gearing up the leadership was doing perp walks.... Results, turnout in Cuyahoga was flat and the GOP swept every statewide seat and held 100% control of the post census redistricting.
We had a ballot issue this election to take redistricting away from the pols, but it lost.
Stupid, disinterested, and/or ignorant people are on both sides. Kudos to these social scientists for using their considerable expertise to intellectually abuse the Democratic voter.

It's true, Republicans hate education, teachers, and science...
