@kimschulz No, I don't. Universities in Nordic countries don't sort and enforce a sharp hierarchy like they do in the US, even though they are themselves hierarchical. As I write, "left-wing movements recognize that effective institutions must place people in different roles — sometimes hierarchical, sometimes associated with unequal rewards" but that's tolerable in the service of a society of equal dignity. In the Nordics, universities serve such a society, which is fine.

@kimschulz My claim is not that any university or form of academia must be right-wing, but that what has emerged in the United States in particular is so, almost cartoonishly, both despite and the cause of the ostentatious "progressivism" of the US professoriate.
