You got kind of dog-piled for this which I think was unfair. I would broadly agree with you that "the left" controls public universities in the USA. I think that is just a natural result of a couple things though. First, liberals support public goods, so government workers are going to tend to be more liberal than the general population. Secondly, the Republican party by taking such a strong stance on Global Warming has really alienated a lot of scientists and educated people. Thirdly conservative education in the US tends to be religious related education, which makes it private. I will say though that while most professors tend to be liberal we should remember that most people who go to college go to either Community College (which doesn't really have a lot of political speakers) or large state universities which tend to have institutional inertia to not get swept up in politics. Liberal public universities like UC Berkley are the exception, not the rule.
