Taking a step back, isn't it clear the most leftist elements of society control many of the departments in our universities? IMHO, the "question" is not what these lefties like Gay did (although I applaud the outrage). The evidence is just so overwhelming and widespread. Many departments at Universities have become lefty echo chambers for decades. It's just getting worse.

However, perhaps it is now the time we look at the count of departments at Universities where the overwhelming majority of existing/new faculty come from a single political affiliation. Perhaps we require (1) University accreditation scores drop the higher the "politicalization" and (2) Universities be held to a "de-politicalized" compliance requirement to keep public funding and (3) we legislate the blocking all gov grants and student loans/assistance for the non-compliant departments. Call it "The University Depoliticalization Act." Am I nuts? Anyone working on that?
