This was an issue in colleges in the early nineties. Many professors were accused of being proponents of the First Ammendment unless confronted by beliefs that were contradictory to their agenda. I believe that it is important to have access to as much information as possible so one can make an informed decision. The colleges which fit the description in the article do not seem to be giving their students that information and are selling them short. I think that the lesson is that students and their parents need to play an active role in their education.
I actually agree with some of the points in the article. The problem arises when professors cross the line from education into indoctrination into a belief system that was way beyond (outside the realm of) mainsteam liberalism. If students deviate from that limited perspective, they might find themselves in a situation like DeltaSigStan.
