The Republican policy document urges officials to crack down on public institutions for being "zones of intellectual intolerance favoring the Left." "Ideological bias is deeply entrenched with the current university system," it claims, warning that trustees of state institutions have a responsibility to the public to ensure that public dollars not be used for "political indoctrination."

The Republican platform next turns to what in higher education is uppermost in Americans' minds—college costs and recent graduates' struggles to repay student loans while facing prospects of unemployment or underemployment.

"New systems of learning are needed to compete with traditional four-year colleges: expanded community colleges and technical institutions, private training schools, online universities, life-long learning, and work-based learning in the private sector."
