@NathanJennings1222 I don't know how old you are, but 1) it wasn't nearly the problem it became until after the bank bailouts 10 years ago, when colleges REALLY turned into rackets, and 2) Have you ever looked into the John Birch Society? That was only the most visible face of the common man's suspicion of communists and "fellow travelers." Conservatives of Reagan's era were vocal about the Marxists in the professoriate. They got scorned as anti-intellectual because of critical theory's pervasiveness in America's intellectual cradles.
Edit to add: I matriculated into a Midwestern land grant college during Reagan's first term (And was naïve enough to vote for Mondale), and while our professors could tend toward the Left, I was in the foreign language department, and most of my professors were very capitalist. One was from Bulgaria. Another was actually a revolutionary lawyer in Castro's inner circle who was jailed and tortured after Castro seized power. His wife's family were Havana merchants who fled to Miami. Both of these Cubans would go off on harangues in fiery Cuban Spanish about what little shitheads their more left-leaning students were. The husband was especially loud, since his torturers had punctured his eardrums. I'll never forget these old professors.
Also, the rest of the campus dealing with business, nursing, science, pre-law and engineering were dominated by Reaganite voices in those days.
