forty years ago . . . academia, the media, and government agencies were much more pluralistic and meritocratic.

Not really. Re-read The 7-Storey Mountain. They've been heavily influenced by Communist mores since the 1930s and before. In the 1920s, you could get in trouble for being a pacifist at a university, but that culture has been tainted for a long time.

The university culture can be infiltrated. Starting with boards of trustees who get gradually turned, and then pick a good president, who then controls faculty hiring and other policies. It's already happened at some schools, and will keep happening as the model is duplicated.
