There are no surprises here. Just look at what happens when a conservative figure is invited to speak on a college campus.
From the Daily Northwestern:
Moderates and conservatives feel less comfortable expressing their views on campus.Most students (64.7%) said they feel comfortable expressing their political views on campus or in their classes. But among NU’s relatively small set of students identifying as politically moderate or conservative, only 25.0% agreed. A majority of moderates and conservatives said they felt somewhat or very uncomfortable expressing their views (58.8%).Likewise, 30.3% of all students — and 57.6% of moderates and conservatives — said they have felt pressure to align with the dominant political views on campus.Just 12.9% of students identified as moderate in the poll, and 4.7% identified as somewhat or very conservative. In contrast, approximately 40% of NU students identify as very liberal and another 40% as somewhat liberal.Student views on campus antisemitism and Islamophobia differ by religion.Universities like NU have come under scrutiny from the federal government and the public for perceived campus antisemitism, in light of pro-Palestinian campus protests that have occurred in the last two years since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war. NU is also currently undergoing several federal investigations relating to antisemitism.The majority of Jewish students identify antisemitism as a somewhat or very serious problem at NU (63.1%), joined by 30.4% of the whole student body. A smaller number of Jewish students say it is not much of a problem or not a problem (36.9%), along with a slight majority of the whole student body (56.7%).Three-fifths of Jewish students say they or someone they know have experienced antisemitic behavior on campus (58.0%), along with 19.5% of the student body.Just under half of all students say Islamophobia is a somewhat or very serious problem on campus at 47.2%, with 36.5% saying it is not much of a problem or not a problem. One-fifth of the student body says they or someone they know have experienced Islamophobic behavior on campus (20.6%). The sample size of Muslim students who responded to the poll was too small to report separate data.
