Is it any surprise that many people view higher education as just another arm of the Democratic Party machine?

Here’s the Cornell Sun piece on the lack of diversity among Cornell faculty: Cornell Faculty Donations Flood Left, Filings Show. “Of the nearly $600,000 Cornell’s faculty donated to political candidates or parties in the past four years, over 96 percent has gone to fund Democratic campaigns, while only 15 of the 323 donors gave to conservative causes. . . . Although students and professors alike said they consider Cornell’s faculty generally Democratic, nearly all remarked that they had not expected to see donation numbers so dramatically skewed.” I like the English professor who says he’s a Democrat because he’s a “scientist.”
