A new study found that professors donate far more often to Democrats than to Republicans.
Among thousands of professors in 31 states and D.C., just 22 donated exclusively to Republicans.
Meanwhile, 2,081 donated to Democrats and another nine donated to both parties.

When I was considering a career path in academia, the fact that 60-70% of professors (potential co-workers) had no grounding in reality or common sense, had a lot of bearing of my choice.
95:1 though? I am guessing the sample population of study was light in the south and the west (minus the pacific coast states)

95:1? That seems a bit low.
