<p>In line with the expectations of social identity theory and work on affective polarization and ideological sorting, numerous actors allege widespread bias against political conservatives in America’s colleges and universities. Research on norms of non-discrimination and bureaucratic behavior, however, provide reasons to expect more even-handed treatment of liberals and conservatives in higher education. I test claims of political bias with two large-scale field experiments in which I randomly assign administrators at colleges and universities across America to receive a request from a politically liberal student, a politically conservative student, or a student with no identifiable ideology. The results reveal no statistically or substantively significant bias against conservative students in efforts to establish politically-oriented registered student organizations (Study 1) or secure campus space for a guest speaker to lecture on political issues (Study 2). These results fail to offer support for the view that conservative students encounter more difficulty in efforts to access campus resources critical to the development of social capital and civic skills. My findings run counter to the expectations of social identity theory, affective polarization, and ideological sorting, and further research on how the expression of individual biases may be muted in institutional or professional settings with strong norms of nondiscrimination.</p>
