As I recall the scandal, the president was poking his daughter in law. Is that correct?
I wasn't intending to imply that people couldn't survive that kind of education. I suspect the results are mixed with lots of graduates continuing to be right wingers but a substantial percentage turning left at graduation.
I turned left at graduation. My complaint is not that the school I attended was right wing. I chose to go there knowing it was right wing. My complaint is that the education lacked a serious grasp of other points of view resulting in a poorer education. The school had a reputation to uphold and alumni donors to please so they simply wouldn't hire a leftist professor. A good right winger is best educated by a left winger and it just doesn't happen at institutions like that. I'll bet the school has very few serious right wing intellectuals amongst its graduates.
I think a good undergraduate education exposes students to a wide range of intellectual positions held by professors who take the views seriously.
