#4 cultural change with most economic value?

US colleges should have at least 20% of their professors and administrators be Republican, pro-life, anti-illegal immigration, pro-capitalism.

Identity polarization, and worse economic policies as well as cultural policies, come primarily from accepting colleges in their secret, semi-illegal discrimination against Republicans. Since long before Bloom's 1987 "The Closing of the American Mind", but in the S curve increase to almost 100% anti-Republican today.

Good questions!

Thanks for your detailed and insightful comment! It's fascinating to think that the liberal domination in academia goes back so long. I hope that the "20%" you mention is coming with younger Millennials and Gen-Z, for intellectual balance purposes. What do you mean by "secret, semi-illegal discrimination"?

I think it would be considered "illegal" if colleges were explicitly excluding Republicans. Instead, they merely consistently refuse to hire such folk as professors - and discourage conservatives from getting PhDs, which are an essential requirement for becoming a professor, especially in all subjective Humanities.

Do you see this changing anywhere specifically or more generally in the near future? Thanks for your thoughts!
