He must have gotten the info from his lib professors. Of course they will deny they are anti-Reagan. The ideological monopoly of the Left over American higher education says otherwise.

I'm that rarity of rarities, a conservative college professor, and I work in a department full of conservative college professors. We're much more common in disciplines like Business, Engineering, Medicine, and Computer Science (Notice what these fields have in common?), in regional and church-affiliated universities, and in regions that are conservative (e.g., the South). This isn't to say that the horror stories you've heard aren't true, just that there are exceptions.
I know, I know: It's 99% of academics that give the other 1% a bad name. It's early. I need caffeine.
