All Liberal arts were overwhelmingly conservative 60 years ago

I went to college in the '50s. It wasn't true on the West Coast. But there was a real diversity of opinion.

Yes...and just before the 50's, conservative professors had at the time, a hammerlock on tenured positions in every academic area.

They decided at that time that liberal viewpoints would bring a welcome diversity of ideas and had accomplished that feat by the time you went to college.

In the 60's, the conservative professors had been weeded out by attrition and discrimination of new professors by liberals in a gradual manner.

By the 80's, the transformation was complete and liberals held almost every tenured position and chairmanship in all liberal arts.

In the 90's, they began to make headway into the hard sciences. The hard sciences are harder to win over for liberals for obvious reasons. Today, conservative professors in the hard sciences absolutely MUST exercise a significant degree of self-censorship of their conservative ideas or face a review board.
