College Faculties A Most Liberal Lot, Study Finds

College faculties, long assumed to be a liberal bastion, lean further to
the left than even the most conspiratorial conservatives might have
imagined, a new study says.


The disparity is even more pronounced at the most elite schools, where,
according to the study, 87 percent of faculty are liberal and 13 percent
are conservative.


The most left-leaning departments are English literature, philosophy,
political science and religious studies, where at least 80 percent of the
faculty say they are liberal and no more than 5 percent call themselves
conservative, the study says.

Well, of course, smart people hang out with each other, and especially
enjoy the exchange of ideas. If you want to see conservatives exchanging
ideas, go to a NASCAR race.

At USF the smart people were on the HARD science side of the campus and the
Liberal arts side of the campus had the most muddle headed people. For
instance, my English literature professor was preaching communism in class.
In her class, those of us from the Hard science side of the campus were
telling her that communism wouldn't work as it went against too many
imperatives built into human beings to be a workable system. Remember this
was 1970 before the collapse of the communist governments.

It always irked me that there were different math and science courses
offered for hard science students and liberal arts students. They are called
the same but the liberal arts version is MUCH easier. Same number of credit
hour too but we would get zero credits for those courses for our majors. I
always found that courses offered on the liberal arts side of the campus
were very easy.

If you look at business and Engineering Science universities the disparity
drops to about 50-50. Hmmm, maybe smarter people go to those colleges.

You can't bull**** a computer, machine or building and have it work. But
you can bull**** people especially if they are young or believe the same
bull****.
