Kesler is pushing 70. Rossum is 75. Lynch is 77. You expect them to still be there in 10 years? I don’t even expect Rossum or Lynch to last teaching more than 2 years from now, let alone 10.
I don’t know if you attended CMC or not but I did, and the newer blood of Government professors are good. The current department chair, Pei, is very liberal which may be a reason. Of the younger professors, Pears is fantastic. And they recently hired Michael Fortner who specializes in race and has gotten great feedback from students. Out of the four visiting professors, two are left-leaning (Courser, and there’s also Bensonsmith who specializes in feminism and critical race theory). This all points to a changing tide within the Government department at CMC.
