This is a measure to protect students from intimidation about their religious and political beliefs by professors who should be teaching them the course curriculum instead.
How do we differentiate tough professors that demand critical thinking and challenge opinions and professors who are intimidating students?
In my opinion putting a hard limit on higher education would be detrimental to this country.
on edit:
It is conservative and religious students who are suffering from this intimidation at the moment, which is a conservative cause.
I believe this statement is clearly false. There are even specialized schools where reason and critical thinking takes a back seat to religion. I have already responded to this statement here.

Re: It is not a call for more government
No I do not! I had many professors that were very much classic conservitives. I would say it would about 60/40 in favor of the left but in no way "overwhelming leftist bias".
I think if you include the schools that are admittedly conservative and religious that ratio would move to their favor.

Re: on left and liberal
So when the republicans are inside my friend's homosexual relationship, my wife's uterus, my cable/satilite connection, my radio, my "news", the majority of higher government, my downloads folder, my church, my internet (US-based), my laboratory, etc. etc.
That's LESS government regulation? If that's less government regulation, I'd hate to see what your vision of this horrible liberal government is.
If you voted for Bush (which, I assume you're from Canada so I don't know), you did not vote for a "classical liberalism represented today by those we call conservative."
