Interesting, but not surprising. Single ideology schools, left or right, make it difficult for students to apply critical thinking to sensitive issues.

Sagan? Hawking? Salk? Sabin? Schockley? Einstein? Lots of them. Each year produces a new crop of (usually) short-lived media stars when the Nobel Prizes are announced.

I can't imagine how college faculty could be other than overwhelmingly lefty, except at religious colleges, of course, and perhaps business schools. It's no different from nursing being overwhelmingly female. I don't know how anyone could be surprised. And I don't see any way of "correcting" it short of an affirmative action program. I suppose academia might attract libertarians. I noticed the study, unlike some posters, classified libertarians as right.
