Most professors and university staff are liberal. Is it their nature – or the nature of academia?
I’ve never understood why more conservatives don’t go into academics, and all I can conclude is that they don’t want to stay in college for 8 years or more, then compete nationally for a job that’s unlikely to end in tenure, with a salary that’s unlikely to be enough to send their kids to the same university where they’re teaching.
Make universities places where folks can earn a fortune and maybe more conservatives would bother.
