Yes, Liberals Rule the Ivory Tower—But Why? | Mother Jones

a new book by sociologist Neil Gross of the University of British Columbia proves through extensive data analysis on the politics of professors that conservatives are right that academia leans to the left.
...
50 percent of professors describe themselves as being "left or liberal."
...
On the right, Gross estimates that economic conservatives comprise just 4 percent of academia, and that 23 percent of academics are social and pro-military conservatives. ...people who are godless and liberal tend to flock to universities—and stay there.
