The answer for extreme professors is the alumni, if the alumni make it clear they are not continuing to give, then the college will get the message.
I don't want a teacher who teaches as if he were an interactive textbook. I want one with opinions, one way or another.
The overwelming of teachers skewed to the left largely is a supply-side problem, seriously if more liberals than conservatives want to enter teaching, can you force them to go elsewhere? No.
The process for "academic diversity" could begin when conservatives stop whining and write the books, and they'll get the jobs.
Not by this stupid Bill of Rights. If conservatives are diverting thier educated lot away from university faculties to the military and religous institutions, than what gives, thats thier perogative?
On the reverse end of the coin, should we have a Bill of Rights that protects liberals in the military and religious institutions because liberals tend to have a higher concentration of thier population in upper-education?
If conservatives want more voice in state schools, more of them should go to state schools. I imagine many end up going to private religious schools, which are bastions of conservative thought; that's their prerogative, but that doesn't mean the liberals who go in larger proportions to open and secular schools should have to kowtow to their conservative classmates...unless, of course, religious colleges are forced to be more respectful of the religious and political views of liberal students (no mention of Creationism, no mandatory chapel, in general no religion).
Maybe that wouldn't be so bad after all.
