Yeah. It feels like the author confused the class character of state university students (largely proletariat) with the consequences of educating said students (Marxist professors!!!)
Large numbers of young proles living together naturally produce revolutionary action whether they're on a university campus or behind a Starbucks counter or on the floor of a textile mill. Reagan's guy was responding to the anti-war sentiments of the 60s and believed universities were catalyzing the activism because that's where news media focused coverage. But the real driver of anti-war action was the consequences of the war itself.
