Black professors outnumber their Republican colleagues at 11 elite higher education institutions including Harvard, Princeton, and Yale.
Roughly 40 percent of college faculty would “oppose hiring a Trump supporter.”
A quarter of faculty in social sciences and humanities departments would “support a campaign” to remove colleagues for expressing conservative views “in at least one of four topic areas.”
These are just some of the issues flagged in a new report from the America First Policy Institute published this month, painting a picture on how higher education is more polarized than ever.
“When you have institutions that are being captured and co-opted by this kind of woke, DEI, critical theory mentality, this is the result,” America First Policy Institute Vice Chair of Education Opportunity Michael Shires told The College Fix. “You chase out people who have even mainstream perspectives.”
“If you think about it,” he added, “half the electorate voted for President Trump, yet on a university campus, you know, 40% of the faculty wouldn’t hire them.”
