Even the left is now flagging the gross bias at America’s universities
Academia has a diversity problem, and people are starting to notice.
Oh, it’s not a race/gender diversity problem; academia has paid a lot of attention to that.
It’s a political diversity problem.
One person raising alarms is Tennessee’s former governor, Phil Bredesen — a Democrat.
Bredesen recently flagged research he’d done that showed virtually all (over 90%) of Tennessee faculty members’ political donations have gone to Democrats.
How long, he asked, can such overwhelmingly blue higher-ed command political support, or even legitimacy, in a deep-red state like Tennessee (where more than 64% of voters went for Trump in the last election)? Good question.
