It happens at plenty of state schools (see UC Berkeley for the most prominent example). It just doesn't make it to national news.

  This isn't national news. It's the Yale school newspaper.

  Berkeley employs one of the more conservative faculties in the U.S. The activism is almost entirely student-driven, on both sides.

    Your comment gives the impression that the faculty at Cal is particularly conservative. Apparently it’s about 10:1, in favor of democrats (Stanford is 7.6). [1] Cal (and Stanford) may have more conservative faculties than other elite institutions, but I’m sure there are many schools in other states that are not this democrat-heavy. A quick google shows that Princeton and Columbia are roughly also 10:1, so I’m not sure I’d say Berkeley's faculty is especially conservative for an elite institution. 1: https://swopec.hhs.se/ratioi/abs/ratioi0054.htm#:~:text=For%20UC%2DBerkeley%2C%20we%20found,species%E2%80%9D%20on%20the%20two%20campuses https://swopec.hhs.se/ratioi/abs/ratioi0054.htm#:~:text=For%....

      I'm not sure what a study from 2 decades ago based on even older data is supposed to prove about the current makeup of the Cal faculty?

That being said, these students are the most listened-to class on the planet. Their awful mass media-drenched suburban backgrounds along with the race for interesting opinions that they engage in to try to distinguish themselves from those backgrounds is lowering the quality of education in general.
