What do you do when there are not enough laissez-fare loving, personal responsibility professing and family values fundies at your university? You make it more socialist: [1]

The research led the Woessners to conclude that if higher education wants to attract more conservatives to the professoriate, it should smooth the way financially, offering subsidized health insurance and housing for graduate students, and adopting family-friendly policies for professors.

Conservatism, when socialism is too good for anyone but yourself!

Never mind that their research indicates what everyone has known all along:

For example, liberal students reported valuing intellectual freedom, creativity, and the chance to write original work and make a theoretical contribution to science. They outnumbered conservative students two to one in the humanities and social sciences — which are among the fields most likely to produce interest in doctoral study. Conservative students, however, put more value on personal achievement and orderliness, and on practical professions, like accounting and computer science, that could earn them lots of money.

As if we didn't already know this.
