Long story, short, professors are ripe targets for peddlers of Marxism because they just love theories that look great on paper. And now academia is completely overrun with Marxists.

Back in the 60s, communists starting pouring into teaching. Re "45 Communist Goals as entered into the Congressional Record" circa 1963, numbers 17-19:
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
It's a self-perpetuating delusion for these people with no end in sight.
