Lets look at the following factors:

1. How universities currently operate vs the trend of university operation

2. Demographics

UNIVERSITIES

1. The traditional university as we know it is slowly dying to online learning which is bound to, at some point in the near future, cause a colossal reduction in university funding to maintain a physical campus. Not only that, students will spend less time with the "college experience" most of us experienced ourselves. There will be no liberal indoctrination cult-like experience anymore. More students will live at home to save costs and the social norms typical of a college campus will never be experienced.

On TOP of that, with the millennial student debt and slow career development, universities are going to struggle for funding bigly after the boomers retire out. Millennials simply arent donating to universities like previous generations did...because they dont have the money and they're in debt.

Then we look at degree programs...as university funding begins to move to online learning and people see the fruits of a liberal arts degree in 2020, do you honestly think there's going to be a large effort to bolster the sociology, english, etc. liberal arts degrees if no one is partaking in those courses? Even if they somehow manage to get charitable funding, eventually the costs will take their toll. Millennials are also more likely to give money to causes like LBGTQ, BLM type stuff and avoid institutions like universities.

I also think we'll see more and more students opt out of the 4 year college experience and head to a 2-year trade school or maybe even head straight into the work force and take online courses as they go. The financial trade-off of college is pretty well known at this point and I think people are going to have to take a more serious approach to what their career path will be.

I think we've seen the "just go to college and youll make it" bubble burst. Too many stories out there that prove college isnt a golden ticket and in many cases completely unnecessary.

2. Demographics

What do we all know about people as they age? They become more conservative. Its always been true historically.

Also, we know people who have children lean conservative on average. Millennials are just now getting around to becoming parents, granted its taking longer than previous generations, but its slowly happening and you can expect a slight millennial shift to conservative over time as well.

In addition, we all know liberals are very ANTI-child and much more likely NOT to have children. So you'll avoid the parental indoctrination altogether with that sub-group, which is a large bulk of who we're seeing on the streets in these riots, and storming DC every time Trump breathes the wrong way.

So in essence, the organic forces of our world are truly sliding conservative. The left is scratching and clawing to own the moment now and take control of the story, but they can't stop the forces that arise organically.

tl;dr

People are going to become more conservative as they age, have kids, etc. and universities won't have near the cultural influence they have experienced over the last half century due to college costs, selected fields of study, and the advent of online turning as a tool to reduce costs.

Also, I think social media will have a come to jesus moment. Its proving quite unhealthy and downright dangerous the way its used in present day. So there's no way the current social media influence will last long term.
