Liberal faculty still hugely outnumber conservatives in higher education: report

A report by the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) found liberal faculty members outnumber conservatives nearly 7-to-1 in U.S. higher education, a shift from a 2-to-1 ratio in 1969. The report highlights concerns over viewpoint diversity, with 40% of faculty admitting they would oppose hiring a Trump supporter and over 80% of Ph.D. students acknowledging discrimination against conservative candidates. The Trump administration has allocated $60 million in federal grants to promote civil discourse on campuses.
