Administrators are responsible for the far-left takeover of our universities, not faculty

An illiberal, far-left ideology has become orthodoxy at almost all American universities, and elected officials in Texas are finally talking about doing something about it.

Unfortunately, many have misdiagnosed the problem, thinking that rogue faculty are the cause. Their efforts will prove futile unless they recognize the real cause: far-left high level administrators whom politicians refuse to hold accountable.

Faculty at public universities have very little power. Tenure can protect us from arbitrary termination, but it is not difficult for the administration to fire a tenured professor for cause.
