I’m seeing a lot of these points in this thread:

1. Conservatives can take advantage of tenure to get some balance in Universities

2. Conservatives get tenure enough that the above is feasible

Obviously, I think claim 1 depends on claim 2, and claim 2 is unsustainable. No less than Larry Summers – guess what administration he works for, guys? – has noted that affirmative action for conservatives might be necessary in the academy nowadays.
