Frankly, if I thought conservatives would be really worried if the halls of academe were filled to capacity by other conservatives, I might try to discuss this matter, and give it more than short shrift. But I think they would think "See, this is the triumph of the conservative way of thinking! Our supremacy in academe is proof of the correctness of our ideas." I do not think they would think it was a catastrophe that liberals were under- represented (I wonder if they would care if they were represented at all? Sure, there are probably some who might want a token liberal around...) Further, I do not support affirmative action for minorities, so I'm certainly not going to support it for conservatives. Our constitution is supposed to protect our citizens from their government (for the most part) and there are certain enumerated qualities which give high scrutiny where the government acts- age, race, sex, disability, national origin, religion. Political affiliation is not one of those qualities. Of course i'm most familiar with title 7 eeoc.gov I think Kholt over on politics for pros gave some very good reasons for WHY academe is the way it is. I pretty much agree with her.
