They could start by instituting a quota system to ensure diversity in viewpoints. The tenured monolithic liberal faculty hacks could be put out of the classroom doing useful work like, say, planting flowers on campus medians.
Because, as with all liberals, real truth is irrelevant.
When you create your own 'truth,' you invent your own universe.
When God commanded having no other gods before Him, I'm sure he was speaking of these stupid liberals who consider themselves gods of their own universes.
It depends a lot on their field of study. Certain professors like engineering professors actually held jobs in the real world or could have. Philosophy and history professors are often very sheltered types who have never left the campus. They were students of the 60's, that's all they've ever learned, they never left their Ivory Towers and faced any kind of reality.
Every day it becomes more and more obvious. Liberals despise the U.S. I doubt they would give you a reason, and most would deny it's true. Buit when the US is attacked, and they first say the response will create an inescapable quagnire, and that proves wrong, what does that leave? Well, in truth, the problems we face in the world must be our fault. It's easy to hate a society at fault.
Furthermore, it's quite painless. If you can blame us for the problems of Arabs trying to kill us, you can absolve yourself of the responsibility of trying to do something about it.
As for the faculties in Science, Engineering, Medicine, etc, a high proportion of them are immigrants and can find jobs in more congenial environments overseas.
*Except: Conservative professors, God-fearing professors and pro-life professors.
The politically extreme on the left tend to hire those who mimic their own ideologies.
Those who favor the free market capitalism of the US tend to be seen as academic dolts - that is people not able to discern the inner workings and subversive nature of the free market. Add to this those who are on the "religious right" - those who espouse the tenets of fundamental Christianity and Judaism and abhor the manifestations of social behavior such as homosexuality, New Age spiritualism, and a value free way of life.
These anti American ideologues generally espouse the philosophy of the leadership of the progressive elite as I call it - that there are those who through their own gifts of thought and intelligence who are more equipped than the masses to rule them and formulate policies that will redistribute the wealth that the economic elites have amassed through no inherent superiority of their own - but by luck or by illegal means. Therefore, it is up to the intellectual elites and their agents to redistribute this wealth to those who are the have nots.
Most of these academic nags on the Left are exactly that - Leftists who absolutely hate the fact that they do not have the same power as the business elites have and are incapable of reaching the kind of wealth status that business elites do. What else is left for them to do but nag, complain, and use propaganda in their classrooms to maintain the lie that there is a conspiracy against the "common man" and the academes by the financial elites.
Finally, I have survived the generally unionist left wing atmosphere at my college by strong and logical arguments to the point where they can run but they cannot hide. I have been doing this since I got tenure; I would never have done this at the beginning since I would never have survived the tenure process. I also do propaganda although I do not see it as such. Since others and generally the media espouse socialist ideologies in their classrooms I also propose alternative (conservative) ways of thinking to my students. I enjoy the feedback and especially relish the fact that my students gain the ability to question authority (the leftist establishment).
I hope he has a backup plan.
First sentence of the article and wrong too! What opposition? The Left is the establishment nowadays! The Krintong crowd, while in power, played like they were the opposition. Unfortunately, the Republicans play along with this game, pretending they are the establishment. And so, Mr Pipes plays right into the hands of the Left. They pretend to be the dissidents while they control the media, the academe, the local governments, and the federal government regardless of who's at the helm by dictating the national agenda (ever heard of "racism", "the homeless", "the chilrun", "global warming"?), while the sheepish Pubbies play along. It's time to expose the paradigm and subvert it, the cat sez!

Fun to read something like that for a change, isn't it?
With Lynne Cheney as one of its founders, the ACTA lets trustees and rich alumni know how their multimillion dollar endowments are actually being spent. Some have withdrawn or redirected their giving after learning of the partisan political and often anti-American nature of university spending. Go to their site and give them all the financial and other support possible:

Another group that is fighting the good fight from inside academe is the National Association of Scholars. If you're qualified to join please do and put your dollars to work in an essencial cause. Their web site is: http://www.nas.org/
