Analysis: Dems get 95% of donations from University Nebraska Lincoln faculty
Campus reform ^ | 12/6/17 | Kyle Perisic

Over the last three election cycles, a whopping 95 percent of political donations from University of Nebraska, Lincoln (UNL) employees have gone to Democrats.

The disparity is even greater than suggested by voter registration records, which show that more than 50% of professors across 7 major departments identify as Democrats.

The university has been desperately disputing allegations that it is hostile to conservatives ever since a group of professors harassed a student while she recruited for her TPUSA club in August.

So a Nebraska diploma is like a diploma from 7-11?

Meanwhile, the U N L faculty are trying to argue the case that they fairly represent the Nebraska citizens, politically....

Interesting.

Leftist U’s are Leftist U’s. Dudden matter where they are located. Even here in the most conservative state in this union, Alabama, from what I know and have read, both Alabama and Auburn are dominated by leftist professors.

I'll bet there's not a college in this country...from Harvard to Bugtussle State Teachers’ College....whose faculty cash doesn't go 95% to Maoist Rats.

The education bubble will burst soon. At least I hope so.

I love the ‘core values’ on the Univ. Nebraska english department’s website. English must not mean what I think it means.

Not so fast with the broad generalization.

I graduated from UNL over 40 years ago and it was somewhat liberal then (VN era) but seems to be worse now.

I now teach at a smaller school that is still mostly conservative. There are plenty of other examples as well; one of the most notable is Hillsdale College. Bigger institutions and big state schools have been bad for years.

The Faculties have lost their academic faculties and are no long able to devise an appropriate curriculum for any discipline.

Peak brick and mortar higher edumacation.

If things are this bad in Nebraska just imagine how "core values" are defined at Berkeley or the University of Vermont!

Generally though it varies widely by department regardless of geography. English and ‘studies’ faculty/staff members are probably politically less diverse than Mechanical Engineering faculty/staff members.

Hillsdale is probably the exception.

This is typical of LIB-infested universities (that is almost all of them). Professors are usually highly paid, pampered LIB nitwits.

I’m glad to see they till have Rhetoric in there. Logical reasoning is something that can be taught. Imagination is more of a gift.

I have dinner weekly with a professor friend of mine from the University of South Alabama, he's an immigrant from Switzerland and very conservative. He said the students are ridiculous and that the grading is all done on the computer but he says that it won't allow him to fail anyone. When he complained, he was told not to complain...."work within the system."

The core values expressed by the English department appear to be applicable to the sociology or political science departments. This is propaganda at its finest if these values prevail in English classes.

Grove City College, it actually is an excellent school and Christian. My daughter graduate there last year and I have two sons there. I could not be happier and it is much cheaper than Hillsdale (one of my sons opted to go to GCC rather than Hillsdale).
