Hunt for endangered species: Conservative professor targeted for post at liberal college
University of Colorado at Boulder pursues visiting scholar

The famously left-wing university is on the cusp of selecting a “visiting scholar in conservative thought and policy,” a first-of-its-kind post aimed at embedding a prominent right-wing intellectual on campus as a conservative-in-residence for one or two years. ...
There may be something to be said for this idea, but it once again demonstrates how far academia has sunk into the deep pockets of the Left that this would even be necessary. Another problem is the question of what is a "conservative"? In the crazy carnival of inverted upside-down ideological double standards of today's colleges and universities, with the Tolerance Police enforcing intolerance, the core of PC power revolves around race and its many taboo topics.
An open-borders "conservative" neocon like Linda Chavez will make a lot of people happy. The university can tell itself that it has hired a conservative. The naive bobble-headed kids on the Left can each week alternatively attack her and embrace her, thinking they are doing some heavy-duty intellectual dueling with a conservative. And in the end no one will have to deal with a professor who is actually defending Western civilization.
