The NAS has been doing this since the '90s.  The goal is to present a picture of US colleges to people who are not very familiar with them, and so can easily believe that there is this massive 50-state institutional machine churning out liberals and persecuting conservatives.  "Indoctrination" has replaced instruction as conservative ideals come under question.

They adopted the model and rhetoric of Women's/Black Studies professors from the 70s and 80s, who argued against the exclusion of their subject matters and professors in white-male dominated universities by presenting demographic data and affirming a need for diversity.

Now "persecuted" conservatives argue for something called "intellectual diversity" which they say is missing from campuses today.  And their methods are those of the previously mentioned groups--affirmative action for conservatives in response to polls and other quantitative data showing that their group is "absent" in certain departments.
