The university experience benefits from a wide range of serious and considered viewpoints. If a student gets all the way through college without having their core beliefs challenged, something has gone wrong; alas my sense is that is becoming more common though.

Through conformity of viewpoint? Through conscious choice to be unchallenging in this way? Both? Something else?

I don't know about the US, but here where I live marxist professors were common also in conservatives institutions. But they were not progressive or liberal at all. Marxist conservatism was the most common position.

Isn't the historical norm the opposite? Medieval universities taught catholic orthodoxy; anglicanism was compulsory at Oxford and Cambridge until the 19th century; academics were nationalist-coded until the second world war; and Soviet unis taught what politics allowed.

The ideal of the university as a place for a wide range of ideas is largely a product of the Enlightenment. It is also a good idea to which universities should be far more committed than they generally are, though the fault here is more often with administration than professors.

It’s best when you stumble on your Anarcho-Capitalist and Marxist professors yelling at each other down the hall. Gives exposure to new ideas and their rebuttals immediately

I didn't have any anarcho-capitalist professors, but the Russianists in the history department were pretty clear-eyed about what the USSR was actually like, so we have some pretty Marx/Lenin-skeptical voices.
