No wonder we have a safe space community with young people. It’s also rather disturbing that almost 40% of universities can’t find 1 republican to teach. Have to wonder about the hiring practices.

In an article published by the National Association of Scholars, evidence is presented that almost 40% of colleges across the United States are lacking something vitally important: a Republican professor.

This astonishing prejudice against conservative thought is illuminated by Mitchell Langbert, an associate professor of business at Brooklyn College, who writes, “The political registration of full-time, Ph.D.-holding professors in top-tier liberal arts colleges is overwhelmingly Democratic. Indeed, faculty political affiliations at 39 percent of the colleges in my sample are Republican free—having zero Republicans.”

If that weren’t sinister enough, Langbert adds that of the remaining 61%, most of them feature barely more than 0% GOP professors; he notes that 78.2% of the academic departments that he sampled had either zero Republicans, or “so few as to make no difference.”

Between February 2017 and September 2017, Langbert sampled 8,688 tenure track professors with Ph.Ds from 51 of the top 66 top-ranked liberal arts colleges in the U.S. News 2017 report. Of those 8,688 professors, 5,197 (59.8%) were registered as either Republican or Democrat. He writes, “The mean Democratic-to-Republican ratio (D:R) across the sample is 10.4:1, but because of an anomaly in the definition of what constitutes a liberal arts college in the U.S. News survey, I include two military colleges, West Point and Annapolis. If these are excluded, the D:R ratio is a whopping 12.7:1.”

Langbert points out that in response to the widespread bias displayed at universities, over 1,000 professors and graduate students have started Heterodox Academy, an organization committed to increasing “viewpoint diversity” in higher education.

There were exceptions to the pervasive prejudice against conservatism at colleges and universities, but notably, they were primarily either religious or military colleges. Thomas Aquinas had 33 full-time faculty; all were Republican. West Point and Annapolis were more balanced than most universities; they had D:R ratios of 1.3:1 and 2.3:1. Claremont McKenna and Kenyon colleges also featured more viewpoint diversity.

Langbert also notes the cogent supposition of Daniel B. Klein and Charlotta Stern that the pressure on professors to “publish or perish” fosters left-oriented groupthink. That injunction is downplayed at Thomas Aquinas and St. John’s colleges, allowing more room for viewpoint diversity.

I feel like you're starting dailywire based threads just to taunt people at this point.

Na. All threads were locked. Just tossed out a couple. I went deeper on the parkland thread.


I can add some Dailycaller in as well.

Liberals can't MAKE republicans want to be professors. This is a problem the Republicans are going to have to fix for themselves.

And, if you looked at the top business programs or engineering programs you would find a lot more republican professors, but that does not fit the propaganda they are trying to spread.

And those who can't teach run for office to tell teachers what they should do.

Peeping into a public bathroom stall to check for transvestites is not the same as "Gender Studies".

so what would you suggest? We force some people registered republican to quit their jobs and take jobs teaching college? Or lower standards to include unqualified people to have a broader pool?

While the topic of this thread is quite obviously inane, it's interesting to read the replies to it and imagining that "GOP" was replaced by the words "women" or "minorities".

You can't mention those inequalities. They're not based on discrimination where as this is. 

But I understand your point as it is also targeted at those brushing this off. The counter argument is that party affiliation is a choice and a silent one at that and not a visible characteristic that is discriminated against.

Being a member of the GOP is a choice.

And the reason there are not more GOP liberal arts teachers is because there are not as many GOP members applying for those positions.  Just like in the entertainment industry.  Most artists and performers are just more liberal minded.  It is not like Republicans are being forced out.

I hear that, Nation wide, there is not a single GOP professor in any Gender Studies Program in the nation.

Time to start recognizing liberal bias when it stares you in the face.

60 years ago that wasn't "imagination".   Let's keep the thought experiment going.

There were exceptions to the pervasive prejudice against Islam at colleges and universities, but notably, they were primarily either religious or military colleges. Thomas Aquinas had 33 full-time faculty; all were Muslim. West Point and Annapolis were more balanced than most universities; they had D:R ratios of 1.3:1 and 2.3:1. Claremont McKenna and Kenyon colleges also featured more viewpoint diversity.

These should never be permanent jobs. To teach you should also have some real world experience. A lot of these people never leave the classroom.

Take it the other direction.

If colleges produce resistance to Trump policies, then maybe we don't need colleges!
