[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here the reason I ask is that the right seems to be fixated on admissions to schools like HYP and affirmative action. Why do they even want to be there? Why not just have right wing school with stellar academics, envy of everyone, plus no affirmative action? My theory is that they are simply incapable of duplicating the same caliber of school. They are loud, but not very patient or hard working. [/quote]

As it's already been pointed out, academics with no real-life experience tend to gravitate to political liberals.  It has more to do with the type of people who gravitate to the life of the university -  and nothing to do with the silly idea that political conservatives have no financial means of supporting a university.  [/quote]

Do you have experience at elite universities? You couldn't be more wrong.

Also, PP wasn't saying conservatives don't have the financial means to support a university; the issue is that right-wing politics (contemporarily conceived -- not right wing in the traditional sense, such as fiscal conservatism) are essentially incompatible with the culture of intellectual inquiry elite universities try to cultivate. [/quote]

You'd be hard put to find truly open and tolerant intellectual inquiry on campuses today.  Look no further than Middlebury, Berkeley, Evergreen State, etc. to witness the violent intolerance of the liberal leftists and social constructionists.  [/quote]
