It seems like a huge distraction to claim that this study is somehow an exemplar of problems on "campuses." There are apparently 1.6 million faculty on campuses and 76 million students [hastily-googled statistics], so to claim that they have uniform beliefs about the nature of the economy seems like an extraordinary claim to make, which I'd like to see substantiated more than this.

I suspect that beliefs are also distributed non-uniformly, and 1-2 beliefs dominate the discourse, while the widely varied rest is seen as minority / fringe.

  You could argue that the distribution of beliefs is so uneven as to be almost oligarchic. :)
