Most university systems have a liberal base. I forget which one it was again but I saw on the news that a University was seeking conservative professors just to try to get another view point for the students.

As for the U. of Chicago....between the dirty dealing with M. Obama's pay AFTER Obama was elected combined with William Ayers being a professor there, I tend to think that "change" doesn't include this system.

Have a good one!:s4:
