The universities and their professors are not going to hold themselves to intellectual standards not respected by the public in general. And that is where the problem is. People are getting more and more superstitious and ignorant every day. A good part of these low standards are directly due to our wretched state of immigration.
Not only are they more and more superstitious every day, but they don't like it when science contradicts their superstitious beliefs. Creationism, for example, has no intellectual respectability in biology or geology and yet demands intellectual respectability from everyone else.
Racism is another example. People want to be racist and want now and have wanted the universities and science to back them up. But there is no science to back them up. Doesn't matter, it's forced into the universities like a square peg into a round hole. And only professors who agree get the tenure. Professors don't write their own paychecks.
