I see my friends from the left side of the bell curve have decided to chime in.
Here is a link for the organization that created the "student's bill of rights." It has been implemented by a number of universities and is gaining momentum. The purpose of the organization and the bill is to combat the strangle hold that the Left has over our universities.

Anyone who doesn't think that our universities are largely Left, has clearly never been to one and is not at all familiar with the issue.
Here are some more links for those too lazy to Google.

College faculties, long assumed to be a liberal bastion, lean further to the left than even the most conspiratorial conservatives might have imagined, a new study says.
By their own description, 72 percent of those teaching at American universities and colleges are liberal and 15 percent are conservative, says the study being published this week. The imbalance is almost as striking in partisan terms, with 50 percent of the faculty members surveyed identifying themselves as Democrats and 11 percent as Republicans.
The disparity is even more pronounced at the most elite schools, where, according to the study, 87 percent of faculty are liberal and 13 percent are conservative.
"What's most striking is how few conservatives there are in any field," said Robert Lichter, a professor at George Mason University and a co-author of the study. "There was no field we studied in which there were more conservatives than liberals or more Republicans than Democrats. It's a very homogenous environment, not just in the places you'd expect to be dominated by liberals."
