Not just the “social sciences.” It has been my experience, at least in OR and CA, that most all of those who do hiring are flameroo liberals. I once was passed over for a position in the Oregon DEQ as an onsite sewage specialist. Reason? I was perceived as being too pro-development. When asked describe the duties of the position as I perceived them I answered, “To enable the property owner to do what they wish to do with their property within the law.” Wrong.
With regard to the term Social Sciences, just remember that when you hear the word “social,” you are going to be lied to. (Old Remus)
““To enable the property owner to do what they wish to do with their property within the law.” Wrong.”

So even though you used the phrase “within the law” you were wrong?
Astonishing.
I am aware of that. Human Resources became infested with SJWs and their ideological predecessors who had a veneer of civility under Obama.
That was enabled by federal contract guidelines that rewarded companies with preferences for contracts or even forgiveness for lower quality if they met various diversity metrics. And it led to hiring of various X-studies grads because they were familiar with the paperwork to prove various points of diversity and were literally trained to lecture people on privilege.
