    Jeet Heer Retweeted Ross Douthat

    I think this trend was driven by fact a lot of moderate & conservative faculty (especially in sciences) turned off by GOP anti-intellectualism. In other words, larger social polarization driving this.https://twitter.com/DouthatNYT/status/973253158628745216 …

    And there are two clear academic trends that pre-date Trump: Fewer and fewer conservative and moderate faculty ... https://i2.wp.com/live-nr-2017.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/HERI-graph-left-tilt-5.png?resize=758%2C499&ssl=1 …

        Yup. Modem conservatism has told the hard sciences to get bent; can only imagine the view from the social sciences and humanities.

        It's also driven by the fact that academics tend to care about observable reality, and observable reality does not support GOP policies. That's Douchehat's faulty premise here, the notion that professors should do Sleepy Chuck Todd's "both sides amirite" routine

        Yeah but Ross gotta blame something other than conservatism because conservatism can't fail, it can only be failed (mostly by liberals).

        Possibly related: Overton window on campus has not shifted right as it has in society, so divergence seems exacerbated from point of view of the right. Society more willing than campus to accept what used to be right-wing fringe as "conservative."

        Basically yes. I mean there’s a reason the College Republicans at UW invited Milo to speak a year ago instead of Douthat.

        Insofar as conservatism exists in the United States it is not as an intellectual tradition of the type that is suited for an academic environment. It’s just resentment and trolling.

        I think this definitely happened at some of the UC campuses. Science departments used to be reliably pro Military spending center or center right. Crypto restrictions then stem cells then climate denial changed minds.

        Gee, conservatives hate education and would rather make 6 figures working at a crypto fascist think tank. There must be a conspiracy to silence conservatives!
