A new report from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression shows that only 20% of university faculty believe a conservative would fit in well in their department.
"Respondents were also more likely to express skepticism that conservatives would be welcomed within their departments. While 71% of faculty said that a liberal individual would fit into their departments either ‘very’ or ‘somewhat’ well, only 20% said the same of a conservative individual," the report stated. Joshua Q. Nelson is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
FIRE’s report "discovered a fraught campus atmosphere in which wide swaths of those surveyed admitted to hiding their political views to avoid censure." Joshua focuses on politics, education policy ranging from the local to the federal level, and the parental uprising in education.
