This article is foolish. It's a lot of innuendo and accusations without facts.
Do you realize that (mostly left-leaning) philosophers rank the University of Arizona's philosophy department as tied for #1 in political philosophy in the English-speaking world? Check for yourself here: http://www.philosophicalgourmet.com/
This isn't some case of right-wing money propping up hacks. It's a case of right-wing money chasing people who are already established as leaders in the field. All that's happening is that famous libertarian philosophers are getting concentrated in one place rather than spread out among other universities.
