86% of university presidents cited the "perception of liberal political bias" was responsible for declining public support
"86% of university presidents cited the "perception of liberal political bias" was responsible for declining public support (31 percent said it was "very" responsible).
My problem is it isn't just the "perception." It is their real bias."

"Public confidence in higher education is waning -- and institutions’ leaders don’t seem terrifically cocky themselves, Inside Higher Ed’s new Survey of College and University Presidents reveals.
About a third of presidents agree that more than 10 colleges or universities will close or merge in the next year, while another 40 percent say at least five colleges will do so. And after a year in which the number of colleges either closing or merging ticked upward, nearly one in eight college chief executives predict their own institution could fold or combine in the next five years.
About a third of campus leaders agree with the statement that “the perception of colleges as places that are intolerant of conservative views is accurate.”
And 51 percent agree the 2016 election “exposed that academe is disconnected from much of American society.”...." (...lol, the 2016 election exposed a whoooole lot of things...
