<p>Students do not build the institutions over time, except for perhaps donations and alumni support. Students spend a few years in school, and their choices are usually not influenced by political aversion to the left side of the aisle. In fact, their choices would be hopelessly limited. </p>
<p>The same cannot be said for the faculty and adminstration that typically reflect a VAST departure from the political affinities of this country. Simply stated, if liberals might surpass the conservatives by a tiny fraction, this is not the case for the people who make their permanent living in tertiary education. </p>
<p>It might be different in academic organization that rely much more on adjunct or other indentured servants to deliver the education. Those organization might not have as many choices to ensure that the chosen ones who rise to the top are carefully culled from the left of center to the hard left. </p>
<p>Schools with a strong inner presence of non-liberals are oddities, and far from the norm.</p>
