How do I campaign for more continental philosophy at my college?


How do I campaign for more continental philosophy at my college?

So most colleges in the USA including mine are strictly within the analytical school. Now I realize that they have made some great contributions to logic, but why should philosophy departments be dominated by those who believe that the whole history of philosophy is a bunch of fools. And since there are so few schools in the Phenomonology tradition, its a good way to get recognition for the college.

I’ve seen students advocate for departmental changes based on political issues, so perhaps it could be done over philosophy?
Does anyone have advice on where to start?
