    Can alternative high level universities become established ?

      That's unlikely in my opinion. It is very hard to create a university, let alone an elite one, and it would be a very lengthy and back breaking endeavor ... From what I have seen the alternatives are pretty weak and generally just as biased, with some teaching religious pseudo science instead of biology.

    Sorry, I appreciate that you were trying to have a thoughtful conversation here, but wow I thought liberals are the ones who are supposed to be snowflakes with overly sensitive feelings. It would be really interesting to look at the brief history over the last few years of thoughts and ideas and whatever to figure out how it flipped to conservatives somehow becoming so sensitive they're afraid to share their opinions in public when they believe they're likely to get a response that makes them feel bad.
    I recommend: if you're trying to understand the shifts in dominant ideological currents in Western universities over the last several decades, you might find it helpful to look into the "compatible left". The CIA saw Foucault, for example, as someone whose ideas might appeal to people on the left and pull them away from Marxist thinkers. They found that desirable because Foucault wasn't advocating for anything that could fundamentally redistribute power and wealth within countries or on a global scale, so they promoted his work. Hannah Arendt is another example, as is Orwell, and Butler.
    Basically every single university economics department in the US only teaches capitalism. But Karl Marx has way more in common with Adam Smith than does our contemporary capitalist system.
    Hopefully you don't wind up in a long-term relationship with someone someday who you have to always lie to about your culture war feelings, seems unfair to both people involved.
