Campus Reform carefully tracks how well it creates headaches in academe. On a dry-erase board in its offices here, the online publication tallies numbers related to its mission of exposing liberal "bias and abuse" at American colleges. In mid-August, the board showed that so far this year it had published more than 530 articles, seven of which had been featured by the Drudge Report, an online conservative news hub that drives big audiences. Its reporters had been interviewed 27 times on Fox News, 43 times elsewhere on television. Most important, in its view, it had scored 15 "victories" — a term it applies to any situation in which a college changes a policy, fires someone, or otherwise responds to concerns raised by the reporting on its site.
