if there is a rise in conservatism among the college students (and I don't know if there is or not), it would partially be because of the normal teenage reaction to such poorly-thought-out bureaucratic policies such as "speech codes."

If College Republicans are scoring more recruits even now, that's probably not because young people have gotten more Republican but because they have funders that help them recruit more even out of a shrinking pool of the hard Right among the young, it seems to me. Both the organized Right and the organized Left are minuscule on US college campuses today, and the dominant campus mood, especially at places like the Ohio State University, is apolitical, focused on balancing academic work and wage labor (of which students need to do more, in order to pay for tuition and other fees that have been rising much faster than general inflation), to the exclusion of politics. -- Yoshie
