Crimson Tide: Harvard Virtually Eliminated Conservative Professors
Turley, who recently penned a Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy article on the subject, outlines discussions around whether Harvard’s near-total liberal professoriate and student body has negative implications for viewpoint diversity on Harvard’s campus. “Editors of the Crimson insisted…that there is no reason for concern that conservatives have virtually been removed from the entire faculty.”
Turley sees the danger and irresponsibility: “These universities are allowing liberal faculty to replicate their own values and to exclude opposing views. They have created an echo chamber within one of the greatest universities of the world, destroying the essential intellectual diversity needed to sustain higher education.”
