I teach and write about general jurisprudence, legal and political realism, metaethics, free speech, religious toleration, academic freedom, Nietzsche, Marx and other topics at the University of Chicago. Homepage: https://brianleiter.net/

In my experience, it's peer group influence that politicizes college students, as you say. We in the 60's tended to be more radical than the professors, although some sympathized with us. I never read Marcuse, supposedly the evil influencer, until I had already been in radical politics for years
