The college thing always feels like such sour grapes. Conservatives have Bob Jones University, Georgetown, Bringham Young, and a whole billion dollar industry of weird little fundamentalist schools that build replicas of Noah's Ark. Yet they still want the clout of all the liberal schools. These conservatives places don't have the reputation of Harvard and Yale because their faculty is full of weird cranks. And I'm gonna guess they get fewer international students because they probably have very racist admission policies (how you can get more racist than Harvard/Yale is impressive).

I have no idea, but my gut says that conservatives who become academics either: 1) complete and utter cranks like Murray Rothbard who only got into academics to be annoying to people or 2) complete and utter cranks with sincere creationism beliefs who want to spread their particular weird evangelism

Also Harvard is a school for libs to convince them working at the CIA is actually a humanitarian project. It's like a soothing balm to wealthy liberals feel better about themselves. Conservatives don't need that, they already don't give a shit and don't need cognitive dissonance. They're already convinced imperialism is good.

The most conservative professors I had in college always worked at the engineering department too, so that could explain why Harvard's so full of libs. The chuds all work at colleges that teach oil drilling science
