Campus intolerance by student body and some faculty is well documented. My son who is currently working on his doctoral thesis decided to look at institutional bias in the acceptance process of doctoral applicants. It is absolutely amazing at the data he's uncovered. He sent applications as a "fictional doctoral student" whose background included memberships in conservative groups such as Young Republicans, etc., to a whole host of institutions. After the application process was complete and acceptance was accepted or rejected he had to notify these institutions that the "applicant" was just for research purposes. Some of these boards were livid that they could be exposed in a published research thesis. His university and adviser have received lots of blowback from University selection committees that do not wish to be exposed as biased.
