2% of the harvard faculty identify as conservative, and only 16% are moderate. it's a problem.

years ago it was more like 20% conservative, still a minority but way more representative of the general population.

some of my best professors were 'conservative' in my time at uni. In today's environment they'd have never been allowed to hired because they would have 'disqualifying' beliefs. That's messed up.

there is also systematic problem with these kinds of incredibly lopsided faculty environments that create a orthodoxy that is inherently problematic to have at an institution of inquiry and learning. exposure to different ideas allows you to challege such orthodoxy. I don't want anyone going to uni to be subject an orthodoxy.
