Nevertheless, the left’s iron hold on academe is beginning to loosen. Anyone who cares about the education of our children — and the future political discourse of our country — can only cheer.

Now if only there was a way to strip tenure from these leftist professors.

College campuses are hardly "leaning right". What ever these numbers show, they represent a backlash against rampant leftist agitation. The faculty is left, the administrations are left, and the college campus is the home of every left leaning group in America. Democrats, Mecha, Maldef, the Communists and every other left leaning wackjob group is on our college campuses.

--the appropriate (but politically impossible) way to do it would be for the taxpayers to cut the bdget of all non-science or engineering schools by about thirty percent so the garbage would have to be laid off---

I hear that some conservative-leaning professors are afraid to speak their views in order to preserve good relations with their fellow professors.

The kids will leave campus - the profs might not. The kids should try to get rid of tenure, college by college, using a master plan that spans across more than 4 academic years. That would make the lefties jump right out of the ivory towers.

"The bustle reflects a general rightward shift in college students’ views."

Good.

I think David Horowitz deserves enormous credit for his battle against liberal hegemony on campuses.

Retirement and death will eventually take care of it. Yes, I expect it to take that long.

I usually don't say anything in class because I want to hear from them as much as I could. Now and then, however, I use the theories they teach to attack their leftist position. When I do that, the professors usually caught off-guard and don't say anything.
