Good.More than a third of the respondents said they would discriminate against the conservative candidate.

"Conservative", by definition, is someone who favours doing things as they are or as they were. If someone is professing to be that way, why would anyone think they would be a good fit in Academia? In Academia, the focus is on doing things in a new way or experimental way.
True, I guess the same would hold for always picking the equally qualified white guy.
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.
Generalizing statement is generalizing.
There are intolerant piss-ants on both sides.

Isn't it the liberals that claim they are so tolerant of others and their opinions? It's the ones that claim tolerance the most, seem the least tolerant.
Of course. How else can the leftist echo chamber be maintained?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.

And there it is, folks -- the same excuse when polls show a majority of Americans self-identity as conservative.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.
"Beyond their findings on discrimination, the pair determined that while conservatives are minorities in their field, they are not statistically negligible: About 40 percent of respondents identified themselves as moderate or conservative on economic issues, while 30 percent did so on foreign policy issues. The widest divide occurs on social issues, the contested terrain in the culture wars shaking the academy. On these contentious issues, 90 percent identified as liberal and only 4 percent as conservative".
The problem within this study and the use of politically charged labels in general is people are complicated and most do not easily fit into cookie cutter categories as the paragraph taken from the The Washington Times notes.
IMO only those on the fringe of the two major political parties are pure "conservative" or pure "liberal" and many of those are little different than the radical chic of the early 1970's. In other words they parrot what they beleive are the fundamentals necessary to be included in the club, yet have never put their beliefs to critical examination.

Yes, there are liberals that say that, but there are Conservatives that say that too.
I think most people at least claim to be tolerant of others, and most probably are.

It's a proud claim from the left that we hear constantly.... the "big tent". Your "big tent" is shrinking.... dramatically. And the right wing tent... that's getting bigger... and bigger... and bigger. Scary, huh?
They do now that the left has redefined tolerance.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.

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

I see that you're another liberal who can't read studies. I was hoping it was just rdean... imagine how shocked I am to discover it's not. Stupidity clearly has spread throughout the herd.
