“How do we fix it?”
That was also my first thought and it something we on FR should have some serious discussion (if that is possible).
College costs have risen astronomically since the feds took over the student loan program. College had a guaranteed sugar daddy called Uncle Sam. So maybe the feds need to get out of the loan business and turn it over to banks where it was originally.
All departments of the government provide grants to universities for research and more. A large amount of the money is wasted on ridiculous pursuits. Trim government money back to the bare bones and let private industry fund the necessary stuff.
State legislatures need to provide tight oversight to colleges and universities. There is tremendous waste. Once tenures some professors only teach one course a semester or become designated as a researcher of some unnecessary or foolish topic. Then they sit around all day doing nothing but championing socialist schemes.
Liberal educators really are trying to change our American culture. They are bad news. I am sure you have other suggestions.
Do these things an you will see more conservatives enter the university picture.
“I frankly do not understand why professors want to maintain this one-sided environment in hiring.”
It removes the wealth of the Federal government. Feds are the ones funding most public schools by loans, food programs et al.
No more money from a small Cabal(Uniparty) and things will change, because people love their kids.
“I frankly do not understand why professors want to maintain this one-sided environment in hiring.”
It’s real easy. The left doesn’t have the same value system you do.
People like you invited them in. Once they acquired the power to hire, they eliminated people who don’t think like them.
This is who they are, who they have been and who they ever will be.
The claims about diversity were an obvious, overwrought and mendacious coverup of their true activities.
They often used black professors/instructors to spout such misdirection. They’ve been tremendous liars.
Change toward actual diversity and fairness can and should be forced through state and federal funding coercion. Merit should always be the goal.
If you have a government job, you vote #ComDem.
If you are self employed or work for a privately held company, most vote Republican.
There was a time when almost all Miltary officers voted Republican. Not so now.
EXCEPT:
... "Another survey found that only nine percent of law professors identified as conservative..."
So that has created the atmosphere where the litigation would occur.
Only 32 to go.
No. It is worse than that.
33 of 65 have NO even GROPElite “Republican” identified professors.
The other 32 college departments have only 2 or 3 self-identified GROPElite repubbies in total.

How many are ‘Libertarian’?...................
Republicans, especially white male republicans, MUST be eliminated for diversity. Diversity uber-alles and you will be destroyed if you don’t hold the Current Thing opinion.
But really. Who would dare say they were a republican on a college campus when the threat of physical violence is very real.
Thanks RACPE.
Defund the universities.
Twitter / Musk wants the Poynter Institute to do fact checking for them? YIKES! Poynter owns the Tampa Bay Times (former St. Petersburg Times) There hasn't been a conservative in that newsroom in over 40 years. Would Musk choose a group to decided 'racial fairness' if that group had not had a black employee in over 40 years?
We need to add political views to protected categories like religion, race, national origin, sex, disability, etc.
Publicly traded companies, educational institutions, and governmental entities need to be made to pay severe financial consequences for this.
