Political Bias in Colleges

                     

Surveys at colleges indicate the overwhelming bias toward the Democrat party candidates over Republicans by faculty.

                       

Example: Surveys showed that close to 80% of faculty voted for Democrat John Kerry In 2004, About 1% voted for Ralph Nader, and only 20% voted for President George W. Bush. Social science professors, gave Ralph Nader about 20% of the 2004 vote, as large as that for President George W. Bush.

                       

That study is just the start. The pattern continued apace in 2006, 2008 and 2012 elections.

                       

And it gets more slanted when the study delves into specific areas. Liberals outnumber conservatives by 11 to 1 among social scientists and 13 to 1 among the humanities professors. As many as 25% of those who teach sociology consider themselves Marxist.

                       

At major graduate schools offering Ph.Ds, over 60% of faculty are Democrats, 30.% are independents and 10% are Republicans. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
