LINCOLN — Reid Preston gave out red Republican goods this month in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln student union — pens, sunglasses, bottle openers.
As treasurer of UNL’s College Republicans, the freshman from Lyons, Nebraska, cares about today’s political scene. Asked if Democratic professors have badgered him with liberal messages, Preston said they haven’t.
Even a professor of political science, who might reasonably be expected to share his own views, “was pretty much in the middle,” Preston said. “For the most part, he was really good at not having any biases at all.”
Many Republicans nationwide say they have lost faith in colleges and universities and now view them as havens of liberal indoctrination. In a comparatively short period, national surveys show, Republicans generally have shifted from a positive opinion of higher education to one of distrust.
But a 2018 campus culture survey done by the NU system, and World-Herald conversations this month with 19 students at UNL and the University of Nebraska at Omaha, found minimal concern about professorial political proselytizing.
Conservatives nevertheless have reason to be suspicious. Not only do college faculties lean liberal, they tumble leftward. Whether that has any effect on teaching and learning isn’t clear, but there isn’t good evidence that anyone is being indoctrinated. Most of the 19 students said politics rarely, if ever, comes up in classes.
High-profile incidents of dismissive or contemptuous treatment of conservative students convey the notion that such episodes are commonplace on college campuses.
Outside the same student union 2½ years ago, a liberal graduate student-lecturer berated a sophomore who was recruiting for the conservative Turning Point USA. The student captured still photos of the lecturer flipping her off and recorded some of the diatribe on video.
