Viewpoint Diversity Lacking

Power Line's Paul Mirengoff writes about Wichita State Tech disinviting Ivanka Trump to speak at their commencement, after first inviting her. Perhaps, like me, you'll agree with his conclusion.
At this point in the descent of nearly all American colleges and universities, I wonder why any conservative would donate a penny to almost any of these institutions. Such donations subsidize the indoctrination of students by those who dislike conservatives and despise our values.

We conservatives should do our best to “defund” the nation’s colleges and universities until such time as they demonstrate a true commitment to free speech and viewpoint diversity, and cease the systematic leftist indoctrination of students.
Higher Ed has evolved in ways that are antithetical to our values. Most have little commitment to the acquisition and transmission of actual knowledge.
