Well duh. When any typical university has a faculty that is 90% liberal, it isn't very hard to have a mor conservative student body. That isn't just the south. I'm pretty sure there is a higher percentage of conservative students at Harvard, Yale, and Princeton than there are conservative professors.
Ever wonder why the liberals who run universities don't seem to mind that conservatives are way underrepresented?
They are afraid of a dialogue. Deep down, they know their ideas when compared to conservative ideas won't stand up.
It's that simple.
You might even have underestimated it at 90%
It would be nice to think we may have a trend starting here.
