The purpose of "liberal" education is to expose students to challenging and heterodox perspectives. That's changing now that thr Academe has become fully left. To paraphrase the execrable Tayyip Erdogan upon winning power: liberal education is like a train - the academic left gets off when it gets to its stop.
Of course most elite universities were originally founded by the Church to indoctrinate priests and ministers. So they're just returning to their religious roots. Different faith, same intolerance.
