> So it's not that I dispute the data that there's a lefty bias in universities (there obviously is), I dispute what that actually means.
The issue at hand isn't perceived bias in universities, it's voting tendencies of people who have higher education.
PS, this conversation is a waste of both of our times. I won't be continuing it. Because there is no good faith either side. I'm certainly not going to display any and I aver you aren't either, but you can judge for yourself.

Arguably they go hand in hand, take young people and immerse them in a political/ideological monoculture for four formative years and it's not surprising many come out saying the same things and voting the same way all of their professors did, there's a lack of viewpoint diversity. Most people are mimetic, exposure to the best arguments from an intellectually diverse curriculum would be great but that's not what universities (broadly) are today. It's very hard to think for yourself, even harder when immersed in a place where ideological conformity is rigidly enforced.
FWIW I thought your comment was in good faith, we just don't agree.
