Of anyone worthy of hilarious ridicule, it's those wacky PC types who take themselves painfully seriously about whatever fill in the blank issue they have--meat is murder, save the whales, wimmin or wymen or wymyn or whatever they are. And of course even worse the tradition of the hostile faculty and administration of the modern American University--they need a good kegger to clean out the uptight.
But the movie can't bring itself to follow through, and in fact, actually caves in at the end and becomes PC itself. The bad guys end up being the demonic frat boys in Blue Blazers and Khakis led by nerd extraordinaire David Spade--the absolute least PC group on campus, and hilariously exiled to a hideout basement, like the underground during the Nazi regime.
Too bad--Animal House was unsparing in it's seventies skewering of stodgy tradition minded academics (though it takes place in the early sixties). PCU obviously was inspired by that movie and could have transposed the idea to skewer the PC uber alles thought police--it should have learned something and followed through on the great premise.
