Academic Homogeneity: Leftist Bias In The University

Academic Homogeneity: Leftist Bias in the University

Several recent studies have shown that the university system is laden with leftwing bias. More than this, the studies show that this trend has long been occurring and is getting worse. The old notion that the university is where one goes to have their beliefs challenged is no longer true. If one comes in with a generalized leftist bias from pop culture (products of leftist Hollywood), then none of those ideas are challenged. Rather those ideas are enhanced and deepened once one enters university.
Studies show that leftists far outnumber those on the right. Conservatives are almost nonexistent in many fields and libertarians have only a tiny fraction of the positions held by far leftwing professors. One is far more likely to encounter numerous Marxists, neo-Marxists, Maoists, Leninists, and progressives than any position to the right of center. In fact, many on the left now see the old center as "extreme" or "far right" and often equate such positions with dangerous movements which are potentially violent.
Heterodox Academy is a group of academics working to remedy this situation by attempting to introduce notions of viewpoint diversity and emphasizing freedom of speech and free thought.
