Conservatives must start making inroads into higher education to counter a culture of extreme liberalism.

I agree. I work for a university as support staff. The hiring process for a new professor takes days. The candidate is literally surrounded by department faculty except for when they sleep. There is no way around political ideology when you're constantly surrounded by the very people who will decide on your acceptance. Unless someone outright lies, I don't know how else they would get around it.

Don't get me wrong. If you were to reveal your conservative thoughts the discussion wouldn't end in gasps and a walkout, but I don't think one would get the job either.
