Higher education is a product that you pay for and if you do not like a particular product you can choose another. Many universities are indeed left leaning. Nobody is being forced to attend. If you don’t like the ideological slant of a university then go somewhere else. Every university has its own particular flavor. This is a good thing not bad.
I can tell you that as a graduate student any student with conservative points of view having the expectation the university (I attend) should bend or cater to those views is going to have a very hard time academically. In fact, there is an unspoken rule that they should be cut off at the knees early. Having been a reader in numerous classes I can tell you that those sort of undergrad students are graded harder. This, in turn, impacts their GPA down the road. Overall, the result is less success had they chosen a university more in line with their way of thinking. This won’t ever change and it’s too bad for those who think it will.
