You have a good point, but really what can be done? It took a long time for Universities to get this way and they show no signs of slowing down.
It is kind of interesting if you can see that they've become basically religious institutions that promote social justice. Once you accept that, it's a small leap to understanding why there's so many examples of Conservative speakers being "de-platformed" and generally unwelcome to speak at Universities. It's because they're considered heretics spewing blasphemy. That's how bad it's gotten. It's like expecting a Southern Baptist church to permit a Satanist to come deliver a sermon one Sunday morning. One would expect to see the same visceral reaction and uproar, jeering, and hostility in such circumstances.
i think years from now physical campuses will be deprecated, at least for lectures. And we will witness the advent of online education. My uni is toying with the idea now and some courses are only offered online.
