Conservatives generally avoid academia since if they have any talent they can be well paid doing something else. Where do you think their saying that "Those who
can, do. Those who can't teach." comes from? They don't have an innate understanding of the great returns in investing your talents into others and it isn't in their nature to help others for reasons other than hard compensation.

That makes them rare as hen's teeth. And really valuable.

Academia is still the marketplace of ideas. Conservative ideas are rare there by conservative self selection, but the rest of us need to have them represented just to show what utter BS they are.

So she is diligent in that aspect of her work.
