Its not every day that left-leaning academics admit that they would discriminate against a minority.
But that was what they did in a peer-reviewed study of political diversity in the field of social psychology, which will be published in the September edition of the journal Perspectives on Psychological Science.
Psychologists Yoel Inbar and Joris Lammers, based at Tilburg University in the Netherlands, surveyed a roughly representative sample of academics and scholars in social psychology and found that In decisions ranging from paper reviews to hiring, many social and personality psychologists admit that they would discriminate against openly conservative colleagues.
A 2007 report by sociologists Neil Gross and Solon Simmons found that 80 percent of psychology professors at elite and non-elite universities are Democrats. Other studies reveal that 5 percent to 7 percent of faculty openly identify as Republicans. By contrast, about 20 percent of the general population are liberal and 40 percent are conservative.

Survey shocker: Liberal profs admit they'd discriminate against conservatives in hiring, advancement - Washington Times
Not surprising at all, but I'm glad it's finally in the open. The Kool Aid drinkers admit they are drinking Hatorade.
Same here squeeze. There are plenty of Republicans in my school but we don't advertise esp. since Christie's war on the NJEA.
But how many times on this board have libs tried to argue that colleges are not all left leaning and that diversity of opinion was welcomed? It's all bullshit.
The more they try to argue how tolerant they are, the more they expose their bigotry.

i feel I'm fighting a war with my fellow republicans that blame underperforming students on unions and "bad teachers"
I work in a high school. By the time they get to us they have had a dozen or more teachers. Do you mean to tell me that they were / are all bad teachers?

One question, according to the researchers, asked whether, in choosing between two equally qualified job candidates for one job opening, they would be inclined to vote for the more liberal candidate (i.e., over the conservative).
That's from the article.
Question:
If the premise is that the two candidates were EQUALLY QUALIFIED, how can it be discrimination if you chose the more liberal candidate, or, for that matter, chose the more conservative candidate?

True, I guess the same would hold for always picking the equally qualified white guy.

I am sure that is so, and that conservative intellectuals at universities do the same. I had a friend who had to go to the Faculty Council to have two of his conservative colleagues to cease and desist their harassment of him.
20-40-40 for liberal, independent, and conservative sounds right.
What is it for Dems and Pubs. I would imagine that the numbers would be close.

No, that would be racist. Different... not sure how but it just is. Liberal and 'tolerance' - two words that no longer sit comfortably side by side.

The entertainment industry has been that way for years. Conservatives have a tough road there to.
