I've experienced this. Many liberal arts professors are out of line. They are paid to teach, not to indoctrinate. I would like to see some conservative organizations tap into the alumni giving- and give on the condition that the student's rights are respected.

"It's only going to become censorship if university administrators, who have the power to hire and fire and the power to punish faculty, start requiring a kind of ideological conformity for advancement in the profession. If that happens, then higher education is dead."

By Jensen's definiyion, higher education is already dead because conservatives cannot get hired at publically funded universities in other than token numbers. The tokens do not advance, get published or get advanced in any degree comparable to their Liberal counterparts. Noam Chomsky, for instance, is a brilliant linguist but a political moron. His views are widely known and published. Walter Williams, on the other hand, is absolutety brilliant on the topics where he does the most publishing-- and largely unknown outside the conservative press.

They are paid to teach, not to indoctrinate.They are OVERpaid to teach. The cost of tuition keeps skyrocketing. Why? The biggest expense are these hypocrite teachers who think they deserve all this money for what they do. With three children under 5 I'm hoping something turns around before they are college age. But just like homeschooling is now legitimate choice, the internet will probably expand to cover college courses.
