COLLEGE PROFESSORS 90% DEMOCRATS

Ivy League professors lean heavily to the left according to a poll conducted by Luntz Research. More than 80% of Ivy League professors who voted in 2000, voted for loser Al Gore and only 9 % voted for George Bush. Only three percent of those teachers polled described themselves as Republicans. The majority of professors voted for Bill Clinton as the best president over the past forty years.

Democratic professors outnumber Republicans at least 7-to-1 in the humanities and social sciences according to a national survey featured in a New York Times article. In a separate study of professors in engineering and the hard sciences at Berkeley and Stanford, the ratio of Democrats to Republicans is 9-5o-1.

One party domination in academia stifles independent thinking, causes minority thought to be discriminated against and betrays the comittment to intellectural diversity which should be at the core of any institution of higher learning.

Mark Baueriein, an English professor at Emory Unviversity in Atlanta writes, "Any political position that dominates an institution without dissent deteriorates into smugness, complacency and blindness ... Groupthink is an anti-intellectural condition.

The American Council of Trustees and Alumni conducted a survey of students' perceptions of faculty partisanship. Of 568 students polled at the top fifty U.S. colleges, forty-nine percent said some "presentations on political issues seem totally one-sided," and forty-six percent said "professors use the classroom to present their personal political views."
