It’s not a question of political bias per se as it is of a way of thinking and seeking truth. Now I will admit liberalism and leftism is more common on college campuses than rural communities but you have to ask yourself why. 3. Yeah, sure 4. Politics are -blam!-ing -blam!-. The American right wing is like a tribe of chimpanzees with Down syndrome and the American left is a bizarre cult of personality backed up by a horde of good samaritans who don’t realize what they’re doing. It’s sad how many educated people end up as democrats instead of staying out of politics and working to make the world better as an individual or even just choosing a more nuanced political position. But what can you do?

Faculty. You're coming at this from the wrong angle Political belief systems grown out of group identities and group value systems. The use of the term "bias" implies that there is an obligation to impartiality. But the fact is that there is no such obligation. The notion that there is a "political bias" in college campuses is because people who tend to hold to "Conservative" (Traditional/ Ethnocentric) values believe that their values are not promoted or given "equal representation" at colleges and other "institutions of higher learning". The problem is that this neither the role of such education or its job...and the reason why there is the conflict has nothing to do with partisan or political "bias". But the fact that they are serving two fundamentally different value systems....and different ways of engaging and relating to the world. Traditional value systems typically have a very strong religious and group-identity/tribal basis. Their goal is not to represent the truth but to promote group cohesion and to promote the interests and advancement of THAT particular group: "My Country Right or Wrong!!" In fact, such value systems are often compartmentalized, and internally contradictory. IOW, Right and Wrong is less a matter of what is done, but WHO is doing it....and Who is benefitting from it. So you get these double-standards. When Sarah Palin's daughter has a child out of wedlock its seen a "mistake" and evidence of her "Christian values" when she decides to raise it. Btu let an inner-city person of color do the same thing...and its evidence of "degeneracy' and the "decay of society". Same action. Radically different interpretations of it based on WHO is doing it. OTOH, Academic Instituions serve the values of the European Enlightenment....and increaslingly "Post-modernism/Post-rationalism". IOW the goal is not to promote a particular set of tribal values, but a particular way of looking at the world. A very specific Intellectual Discipline: Truth is Discovered through Reason and Investigation. Not revealed by a Supreme Being, or handed down from one "superior" culture. When the world challenges what we believe, then we need to change what we believe to fit the available information. Not dig our heels in and destroy any evidence of that conflict in order to preserve our preferred way of looking at things. This leads to a realization that all values are local. All values are tribal. Or---as President Obama once rather wisely nonted----"All communities have values." Some are good. Some are questionable. Some are bad. Everyone is trying to do the best they can to do right (not wrong) as they understand it. TLDR: There is no political "bias" on campus. What you are seeing is a clash of value systems that has been going on in Western Civilzation for over 500 years since Copernicus had to publish his work that the Earth rotated around the Sun----and not the other way around----so as to not conflict with (Catholic) Church Doctrine....and risk Excommunication. ...and Gallileo spent the last years of his life under house arrest by the Church for daring to do the same while he was still alive. Academics is simply being true to ITS value system and ITS fundamental mission. The advancement of Reason and Knowledge...wherever that pursuit leads in the service of Truth as we can best surmise. It's job is NOT to promote any particular cultural value system.....or dominance of any particular culture. Which is why there is the conflict with "Traditionalists" .

Could just Google the thousands of research papers that answer your question...

Bias exists in all places at al times. Objective fact doesn’t exist and all things have a spin

Are you talking about the faculty or the students? College faculties are supposed to remain neutral but the students are under no obligation to do so.
