The following stats on the liberal mind-set in colleges were gleaned from a recent study by political science professors Robert Lichter, Stanley Rothman and Neil Nevitte. They were based on a survey of 1,643 faculty at 183 four-year schools.
• By their own description, 72 percent of those teaching at U.S. universities and colleges are liberal and 15 percent are conservative.
• Regarding partisan terms, 50 percent of the faculty members surveyed identified themselves as Democrats and 11 percent as Republicans.
• Religious services take a back seat for many faculty members, with 51 percent saying they rarely or never attend church or synagogue and 31 percent calling themselves regular churchgoers.
The study appears in this month's issue of Forum, an online political science journal.
