Conservative taxpayers & politicians will stop supporting social sciences & humanities if these fields don't increase their viewpoint diversity. Can these fields set aside their ideological tribalism to promote their longer-term funding prospects?https://www.timeshighereducation.com/opinion/if-conservative-views-are-not-represented-social-research-leftists-will-suffer-most …

Conservative views are not represented in biological research either (e.g Creationism). Should all research include conservative views regardless of objective truths?
Very few conservative intellectuals are creationists. Red herring.

The point is that a lack of conservative views, in-and-of-itself, is not evidence of tribalism. The only obligation social science is under is to seek out objective social facts. If these facts tend to skew towards one side of the debate, adjust your position, not the discipline.
