A Liberal Problem?
Crimson | Editorial Board
The Crimson asks if “our faculty's ideological slant represent a genuine, practical problem?” With 82% of Harvard faculty identifying as “liberal” or “very liberal” while 1% identify as “conservative” and zero faculty members “very conservative,” the Crimson decided that no, nothing to see here. In fact, the board “rather sharply” disagrees that “more even distribution of faculty along a conservative-liberal binary would increase productive disagreement in any meaningful way.” In fact, they argue, “boiling down ideological and intellectual diversity to such limited labels strikes us as downright reductive.”
