Daily Illini: Intellectual incest in academia

Editor’s Note: This is the first of a two-part series by columnist Billy Joe Mills on accusations of liberal professor bias on campus.

There is a danger to the vitality of intellectual life at American universities. It lies within the overwhelming domination of campus by liberal thought. This problem exists, although many believe it does not. Many professors at our University earnestly see the majority of their colleagues as conservative. Surprisingly, my solution rejects David Horowitz and others who wish to legislate political equality, which I will develop next week.
