All campus organizations need a faculty advisor and this pseudo-conservative was probably the best they could do. As a former College Republican president, I can tell you that finding a real conservative faculty member on a university campus is about as easy as finding a virgin in a sorority house. (And this is in Texas!) Any genuine conservatives are hated by their fellow faculty members starting out of the gate. Our first faculty advisor was a tenured professor who was not often not allowed to teach anything put small classes due to his “bias”, whereas outright Marxist were held in high esteem by the liberal arts faculty and their radicalized student suck-ups and could teach 300-400 students per class. Our second advisor couldn’t stand this hostile work environment and quit teaching to go to law school. Our third advisor was a democrat leaning libertarian. He was a “good guy” though in that he tried to keep his class opinions balanced and supported us just to keep our voice on campus. Many of his “tolerant” liberal friends outright disowned him. (You might call it the “Dennis Miller” treatment, if you are familiar with that story and how is “friends” turned on him.) Fortunately for us, this pushed him further towards our side, but he was still fairly liberal.

Try getting your faculty advisers from the school of engineering - if A&M has one...

LOL!
