Liberal professors outnumber conservatives nearly 12 to 1, study finds Melissa Click, an assistant professor in the University of Missouri’s communications, gestures during a run-in with student journalists on Nov. 9, 2015, at a campus protest that followed the resignations of the university system’s president and the Columbia campus’ chancellor ... more > By Bradford Richardson - The Washington Times - Updated: 8:35 p.m. on Thursday, October 6, 2016 Students at America’s top universities are nearly 12 times more likely to have a liberal professor than a conservative one in the classroom, a new study shows. And in some fields, the ratio exceeds 30 to 1. Published in Econ Journal Watch, the study looks at faculty voter registration at 40 leading universities and finds that, out of 7,243 professors, Democrats outnumber Republicans 3,623 to 314, or by a ratio of 11.5 to 1. The field friendliest to conservative scholars is economics, where there are only 4.5 liberal professors for every conservative. Meanwhile, history is by far the least-conservative department, where liberals outnumber conservatives by a 33.5 to 1 ratio. The paper speculates that this is due to the rise of academic subcategories — such as the histories of gender, race and class — where a liberal orientation is the foundation for subsequent research. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Funny" how this never comes up when inequality is discussed!
