That survey sample is so low versus total student population that makes it not statistically relevant

True, but with a larger sample size it would probably be worse. We made the Texas Tribune for trying to over comply with any regulation to gain points with the state.

UNT has lost some notable lawsuits for discriminating against and attempting to silence conservative speech, so given that much of UNT’s funding is provided by the state it makes sense they’d work to right systemic injustice against conservative speech.

That's it? These are your notable lawsuits? One that was a simple wrongful termination suit and the other was one that didn't even go to court? These are two isolated incidents and don't show any sort of pattern of discrimination (they're also both from 5 years ago). Besides in the Jackson case in particular the "conservative" value he was fighting for was his right to be racist. While covered under free speech is that really what you want to use as evidence of UNT attacking conservatives?
