A large university has many different components, not merely
discipline-wise (meaning academic fields and not the
treatment of students, although this certainly differs as
well) and administratively, but in terms of approaches within
departments, general political leanings, administration
versus faculty versus students, and all the other issues that
evolve in a diverse community.
However, as one with both personal and professional knowledge
of segments of the Cal "culture" of the 1950s, 1960s, and
1970s, I can say with certainty that there were significant
people within the Political Science and Asian Studies areas
that would be shocked to know they are linked with
pro-Marxist thoughts, namely well-known conservative
academics such as Robert Scalapino, Chalmers Johnson and Karl
Jackson. Too bad some people seek to paint things they,
supposedly, know with too broad a brush.
