What I learned is that the damn lies (read statistics) that the learned Mr. Horowitz sited were overwhelmingly from the humanities departments. I am quite certain had the data been culled from the engineering, math, physics and hard science side of the house that it would have evened out the gap. Furthermore, if an administration was actively abusing its conservative students (also known as customers) I suspect that the institute would be facing litigation up to its collective eyeballs.

My wish is for all this anecdotal evidence to go away and for some organization to provide a comprehensive survey of the political climate of our nation's campuses. I suspect no one will because the results might turn out to be very surprising.

As someone working in these circles, I might agree with this statement, to a point. However, I also remember that the Dean of the College of Engineering at THE Ohio State University said, in a recent meeting closed to the faculty, that the college would not hire a faculty member "white, male and over 50".

David Horowitz has addressed this in previous columns; he asked the students to research the voting registrations of faculty in the 'soft' majors, where the classes deal in 'feelings.' In the 'hard' sciences the instructors do not teach and grade on 'feelings,' but on measurable 'fact.'

Been away for some time I see. Conservative students have been catching hell for years and lawsuits have done nothing to protect them. Their newspapers are routinely stolen and destroyed, they are attacked by leftists physically, their speakers shouted down and threatened.

Open your eyes before it is a total repeat of Nazi Germany.
