Oh, RW.  Is that why Larry Summers resigned?

Is the ACLU rushing around the country filing suits against speech 
codes?


"Academia, Stuck To the Left

"By George Will--Townhall.com--11/28/04 
Republicans Outnumbered In Academia, Studies Find, New York Times, Nov. 
18

"WASHINGTON -- Oh, well, if studies say so. The great secret is out: 
liberals dominate campuses. Coming soon: ``Moon Implicated in Tides, 
Studies Find.''

"One study of 1,000 professors finds that Democrats outnumber 
Republicans at least seven to one in the humanities and social 
sciences. That imbalance, more than double what it was three decades 
ago, is intensifying because younger professors are more uniformly 
liberal than the older cohort that is retiring.

"Another study, of voter registrations records, including those of 
professors in engineering and the hard sciences, found nine Democrats 
for every Republican at Berkeley and Stanford. Among younger 
professors, there were 183 Democrats, six Republicans. 

"But we essentially knew this even before The American Enterprise 
magazine reported in 2002 of examinations of voting records in various 
college communities. Some findings about professors registered with the 
two major parties or with liberal or conservative minor parties:

"Cornell: 166 liberals, 6 conservatives.

"Stanford: 151 liberals, 17 conservatives.

"Colorado: 116 liberals, 5 conservatives.

"UCLA: 141 liberals, 9 conservatives.

"The nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics reports that in 2004, 
of the top five institutions in terms of employee per capita 
contributions to presidential candidates, the third, fourth and fifth 
were Time Warner, Goldman Sachs and Microsoft. The top two were the 
California university system and Harvard, both of which gave about 19 
times more money to John Kerry than to George Bush. . . ."
