Not so much about not letting anyone but academics in but more like the 
same reason I don't let vacuum cleaner salesmen or Jehovah's Witnesses 
in my front door; because populist right-wing sensibilities is 1% 
substance and 99% sales.

Nah I don't need a new religion, a new vacuum cleaner, and I've kinda 
had too many enjoyable relationships with attractive young women over my 
life to ever drum up the amount of pissed-offness required to be a solid 
sales lead for right-wing populism. it's cool. I'm good.
