The reason it’s important that even Americans should know what “liberal” actually means, at least in context, is exactly statements like this one.
A “liberal college” is a college that teaches “liberal arts.”
Language studies, history, psychology, writing, philosophy, etc.
It is not a political designation. Sure, they’re probably going to trend left, both American and actual, because of all the gathered knowledge and empathy, but this is exactly why letting “liberal” to be a synonym for “Democrat” is a mistake.
You’ve got people, unironically, in these comments talking about him replacing a “liberal college with a conservative one.”
He didn’t replace anything. He just sabotaged a school.
