Democratic professors outnumber Republican ones 12 to one.

Growing university gap: Democratic professors now outnumber Republicans nearly 12 to 1 in top fields.  We knew that of course, but this is worse than we thought, especially as we consider the impact on naive students working their way to adulthood. As you might expect, the ratio is highest in the soft sciences and lowest in hard subjects (with math) like economics.  As you might expect, studying economics might tend to make one more realistic about what works and what doesn't.
