The Student Free Press Association highlights the massive political imbalances on campus, as measured by the political donations of professors:
-
At the University of Michigan, Eden Stiffman reports that 87 percent of faculty donations go to Democrats or liberals PACs.
-
At Stanford, Lisa Wallace reports that 75 percent of faculty donations go to Democrats.
-
At the University of Missouri, professors at 36 times more likely to donate to Democrats than to Republicans.
-
At Georgetown, 70 percent of faculty contributions went to Democrats or liberal PACs.
-
Boston College is an exception that proves the rule: Morgan Chalfant reports that 62 percent of faculty donations went to Republicans. Yet it would be a mistake to think that BC is some kind of Republican school: Two years ago, 94 percent of faculty donations went to Democrats. So the anomalous 2010 results may be the Scott Brown effect.
