College Faculties Are Mostly Leftist and Becoming More So
Nov 11, 2016George Leef5 Comments
A paper recently published in Econ Journal Watch, “Faculty Voter Registration in Economics, History, Journalism, Law, and Psychology,” shows that something almost everyone believes to be true—that college faculties in the social sciences are predominantly left of center—is in fact true.
More than that, however it shows that this is more true in some fields and geographic regions than others and, most significantly, that the leftist trend is becoming more pronounced over time. Especially in the social sciences, non-leftist professors are a slowly vanishing breed.
Authors Mitchell Langbert, Anthony Quain, and Daniel Klein describe themselves as classical liberals who find both major parties to be “by and large, horrible,” so the study can’t be dismissed as merely partisan griping.
