There have been several big studies showing that the overwhelming majority of university professors are left-leaning. I believe it's generally accepted that the ratio of left/Democrat professors to right/Republican professors is at least 10 to 1, and likely higher depending on whether you exclude the military academies (which tend to be more conservative/right-leaning), etc. Here are a few New York Times articles about it. The NY Times is openly left-leaning, so that lends even more trust to this research since one would assume that it goes against their interest to admit the liberal bias in universities (and it also does credit to the integrity of the NY Times as an institution, the fact that they are often willing to print things that don't necessarily help them out). https://www.nytimes.com/2016/0... https://www.nytimes.com/2018/1... https://www.nytimes.com/2021/0... https://www.nytimes.com/2016/0...
