Oh for God sake, all kids have a right to attend public universities. That is what Iowa is last I heard, same as other universities supported by the tax payers. I think you are showing your narrow mindedness and your lack of true knowledge.

Normally when one responses to these posts they take the time to at least read the first posting: it was a she, not a he that told the conservatives to $$C& off.

Know of what you speak! Princeton, Dartmouth, Duke, Georgetown, Notre Dame, Northwestern, UVA - more conservative bent, still overall more liberal. This probably has something to do with getting teaching jobs and the proclamation of Liberal/Conservative to get that job. The conservative side to the left left left liberal side varies.



The majority of institutions of higher education are left leaning. Statistics from a recent study state that 72% of all university professors self identify as liberals.

Only 15% say that they’re conservatives.

Private, Ivy League schools are even more lopsided with 87% of the faculty identified as liberal and 13% as conservative.
