FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE: HOW AMERICAN PROGRESSIVE NEOLIBERAL CAMPUS POLICIES CONTRIBUTE TO CONSERVATIVE MISTRUST OF HIGHER EDUCATION AND SKEPTICISM TOWARDS RESEARCH ON ANTHROPOGENIC GLOBAL WARMING ABSTRACT When conservatives believe American universities implement policies that limit their free speech rights and demean their social identities, their support for the institution can decline. Negative partisanship and political polarization push consumption of agreeable media and distrust of antagonistic media, which means conservative media and social media are a major source of information about the contemporary university system for that population. I hypothesize that this is an important variable, among many, in understanding why conservatives reject environmental research on topics such as Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW).
