Should public universities be required to publish data about the % of faculty who are liberal vs. centrist vs. conservative, so parents can make informed choices about whether their kids will get a narrow indoctrination or a broad education?
I'm imagining faculty voluntarily answering anonymous surveys about their political beliefs and values, not being forced to reveal anything. Political psych shows most people are happy to do this, and are typically honest.
What do you think about the research that shows the political leanings of professors in fact push their students slightly to the other side of the spectrum on average?
Haven't heard about that. Links please?
It only works if the people making the assessments can be trusted. Is that possible in this environment?
I don’t think it will work because I don’t think most people (academia included) have a huge chasm between the politics they espouse and the politics they work towards.
Even if voluntary (arguably, it would be obligated voluntary), doesn't this sort of thing encourage movement to the wings? The university with more left will attract more left etc.
Once the purpose of survey is known, honest response would be rare.
What would prevent an activist reaction that would have them simply self-report to the right of their actual leanings? I say this because unlike anonymous surveys, presumably there would be some actual effect of this data being out there.
Lol. This changes my vote to yes
