Regardless of where you are on the US political spectrum. Universities have been held strongly on one side of that spectrum for awhile now.
If that’s good news or bad depends on where you stand on said political spectrum.
I think objectively it’s bad for everyone when free inquiry is hobbled by dogma.
I think people should have the right to be wrong in academia. I can think of no safer place to be wrong - there are real consequences when you are wrong in practice (e.g. as a politician) compared to being wrong in theory (e.g. as a professor not really in charge of anything)
