The enormous percentage participation of the federal and state governments in the funding of soi-disant higher education means that pulling the bucks can't be done all at once. As soon as grant and budget reductions become visible, college administrators and their supporters inside the bureaucracy will contrive to make the reductions fall on those students, and those programs, the general public likes and approves of most strongly. This will result in counterpressure to restore the funding, which has almost always worked in previous attacks on government-funded "beneficent" activities such as schooling.
It's worth a try, especially if blended into a multi-pronged attack that includes protests, demonstrations, competition from colleges that don't take government money, lawsuits in both civil and criminal court, and the proliferation of alternative modes of education and certification such as Internet-based schooling. Just don't expect it to be easy. The universities are the Left's most secure bastion; they'll do whatever it takes to protect that stronghold, no matter how vicious.

This would be similar to Bill Clinton and his cast of characters. (Wait, is character the right word?) The solution to that problem was not to eliminate the office of President, but to rectify the hiring mistake made in 1992 and repeated in 1996. That was accomplished in 2000, and hopefully the American voters will not make another hiring mistake of that magnitude in the future.
"The only solution to this is to pull the funding of these ultra-liberal, left-wing universities and starve them out of existence. The people do not need to continue funding universities that are simply tools of propaganda for the left. Take away their money and force the tenured left-wing professors to go out and get a real job like the rest of us."
Well, this might be an all fine and well solution, but that would also mean that THEY would see fit to defund the conservative Christian schools and thus THEY would go out of business too! Its sort of a damned if you do and a damned if you dont scenario. I can just hear the libs crying "but..but..you cant dismiss a student simply bc he is an openly gay student!" blah blah blah..no more Pell Grants or Stafford loans for Christians. I hope Im wrong in assuming this will one day occur.
