Liberals outnumber conservatives on university faculties:
The liberal-conservative ratio among faculty was roughly 2 to 1 in 1995. By 2004 that figure jumped to almost 3 to 1. While seemingly insignificant, that represents a 50% decline in conservative identifiers on campuses. After 2004, the ratio changed even more dramatically and by 2010, was close to 5 to 1 nationally.
What’s more surprising is how extreme the difference is in one part of the country, Tyler Cowen notes — New England:
For college and university faculty in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont — the liberal to conservative ratio is above 25 to 1!
Why is that surprising?
If this earlier article is right then you would expect college professors, whose IQs average 130, to be most attracted to various liberal ideas like multiculturalism, open borders, feminism, etc.
