I wonder........since The Left has essentially taken complete control of the higher ed in this country, since about 1970 or so, how much of this shooting garbage can be a result of their incompetence?...............
As Universities go, Purdue is VERY conservative. This is not to say the employees in general are uniquely and individually conservative. But Purdue is heavy in the sciences and engineering. The administration of the university is comparatively conservative.
For the most part, they still practice real science at Purdue.
