Why are there so many socialists and communists in prestigious colleges and universities?

Yes, there ARE. This isn’t an attack against anyone, not even communists and socialists.

There have been communists in colleges and universities in the United States and the United Kingdom for over sixty years. The more prestigious the more likely—but even when I was at Memphis Theological Seminary, a great percentage of the faculty belonged to communist organizations. It seems that the LEAST amount of Communist and Socialist faculty are in the relatively inexpensive four-year STATE universities.

This is a legitimate question—not a political rant. Why do schools like Oxford, Cambridge, and the Ivy-League schools have so many communists and communist sympathizers?
