Is there still a right wing presence on campus? If so, it can't be as bad as it was when I was in school in the mid 80s when the YAF was a vocal and annoying problem.

I would think that the Supreme Court decision on student fees and student newspapers would have been the final nail in the coffin of the campus right. They've been pushing defunding for years.
