Yale paper names McCain supporters The student newspaper at Yale University printed the names and departments of all five professors who donated money to the presidential campaign of Sen. John McCain. The article in the Yale Daily News, citing Federal Election Commission records from the past year, noted that faculty members donated $109,590 to Sen. Barack Obama's campaign, compared with $5,700 to Mr. McCain - an almost 20-to-1 ratio. The Daily News noted that four out of five students it had polled backed Mr. Obama. The article did not name any of the professors who donated to Mr. Obama, which prompted a major conservative blog to see a double standard. "This is yet another item to keep in mind the next time you hear campus liberals talk about their cherished values of tolerance and diversity in academia. As someone once said, what is in fact desired is a place where everyone looks different but thinks the same. Presumably the tenure committees of the five McCain donors have been notified," wrote Noah Pollak at the commentary blog
